Children's Workshops

Experience the magic of atelier123

Always more than just about the art

Your child's happy, invigorating and calm place, every week

Weekly privates allow the budding artist 1:1 (bring a friend or sibling for 2:1) intense and exciting focus on their projects, for home, chalet or cottage decor or for gift giving. It is both an exploration into Fine Arts, learning new skills and use of materials and a life skills program.

"What a beautiful gift you are to my family!! My children love you and I love that they have the opportunity to learn from you. Thank you!!"

"Nancy you were excellent. I couldn't be more pleased. Thank you. I will most definitely refer you."

Summer Day Camps North

A week of camp is perfect for the art enthusiast who can't get enough.

Choose any week (s) from our famous week long camps at our Farm Studio (Summer) to enable your emerging artist to dig deep artistically, grow creatively and make memories in a spectacular backdrop.

"As the summer wraps up, I wanted to write to thank you so much for the wonderful experience that W had at camp. Thank you for creating an environment that nurtured him so much. W described your camp as "paradise." He loved everything about the pace, activities, and pleasures of creating, swimming, and reconnecting with other people in a supportive and caring environment."

Large Canvas Projects

Large Canvas Abstracts come to life

Let your Picasso create a large scale abstract under our guidance and fill your home/chalet/cottage with their artwork. You won’t believe what we can do together.

"Nancy was incredible to work with. Not only did my children have a fabulous time creating a beautiful painting, but she was so thoughtful and accommodating of my wishes for the piece of art, ensuring I was going to be most happy with the outcome. The painting is fabulous and hangs as the main focal point in our living room. it means so much to me and my kids, given that they created it with Nancy’s guidance and vision. I would highly recommend Nancy and her art programs"

Large Canvas Original Family Portraits

The perfect gift for grandparents, teachers, dad, mom or a favourite aunt or uncle

The OFP becomes a unique and cherished gift. Choose any backdrop for the canvas- be it meadow, ski hill, lakefront, farm, cottage, ocean and beach- or something you dream up. We prepare the simple background so that the canvas is dry before the group arrives. Two hours of private studio time is booked.

Artists may include siblings/cousins/ parents/grandparents or just one individual.

A beautiful, unique and personal family portrait emerges.

"I LOVE my Original Family Portrait that my two adult kids painted with The Art Studio.

Nancy was incredibly patient and enthusiastic which triggered the kids to be fully engaged and proud of their finished product. It hangs proudly in our family room and is a lasting creative memory of our cottage of 55 years. Thanks Nancy. You are truly the best."

Private Group or 1:1 Workshops

If your artist has a pocket of time we will create a private or semi private workshop for them. PA Days, Snow Days, PT Interview Days, Jewish Holidays can all be spent in the studio creating large canvas art.

"Under Nancy's creative guidance, our girls over the years appear to be partaking in an apprenticeship more than an art class. They are challenged to create imaginative and dynamic pieces which they are proud to discuss and display. Nancy is a lovely person who is a very gifted artist and teacher."

City Studio Private School Summer Camps & Winter Camps

Uninterrupted focussed studio time

These City Studio Camps allow the artist extra time to delve deep into our challenging projects.

"I was quite stunned when I saw what Maya painted. She was so excited to show us – she kept it hidden until we were home and all together for the final reveal. She is amazing, but you are SO amazing for your guidance and skills. The paintings are gorgeous! Thanks again Nancy – Maya also explained all the concepts she learned. She is so proud of her paintings – I'm really in awe!"
