In todayβs world, where there is an ever-increasing demand and focus on innovative solutions, the need for creative thinking and problem solving is paramount across all industries. Art is essential for our children.
Artlet founder, Georgina McDonald, has worked in education for 20 years across Brisbane and London supporting children, tweens and their families with their social, emotional and behavioural needs and varied levels of trauma.
Her passion lies in βbeing creativeβ in all that she does - as an educator, business owner, designer and even as a mum! Knowing, and having witnessed, the benefits art, design and practical learning have on development and wellbeing in both children and adults alike, Georgina continually strives to build programs and workshops that inspire, ignite curiosity, βthink outside the boxβ, improve self-worth and encourage all learners to trust in themselves and have fun. And if you make a mistake? Pfft! Thatβs totally fine because we all do!
Artlet is committed to leveraging the power of art and creative learning to foster positive growth and development in individuals of all ages. Despite the well-documented benefits of art in enhancing neurological, emotional, social, and physical well-being, there remains a gap in providing these opportunities for children. As Artlet expands, our dedication lies in offering diverse creative experiences that not only enrich lives but also cultivate supportive communities where children, tweens, and teens feel valued and understood. Through our initiatives, we aim to create a space where individuals can thrive and connect through the transformative force of art.

See what people are saying about Artletβ¦
βBoth my children (aged 8 & 10) had a wonderfully creative few sessions with Artlet. They loved the choice of activities, the freedom to create and the hands on support and teaching provided. Everyday they came home with their creations and rearing to go for the next project! So much fun and what beautiful, interesting and functional artworks we got at the end of it all - thank you!β

βBetty just loves the creative process. The challenge she finds in trying new techniques and materials, with gentle encouragement and inspiration from the ever fabulous Georgina McDonald, has built her confidence while allowing her to 'just be' in the joy of expressing herself. We are grateful to Artlet for this colourful space filled with wonder.β
β After-School Crafternoon Club

Whatβs on?
Art, design and craft provide the tools necessary for shaping and strengthening their identities and development. An arty outlet is exactly what is needed for our children, tweens and teens. Through creative-based learning, transferable skills are engrained that can be transferred to other areas of learning and the curriculum.
