What people are saying…
“Jacqui is a passionate artist who is also very patient and nurturing in all aspects of her teaching. She encourages creativity in her students' work, in a supportive and fun environment. My two daughters always enjoy attending the By Hand art classes each week. Highly recommended.”

“By Hand Melbourne provides a warm and nurturing space that extends my child’s creative learning and fires her imagination. Learning to express herself through her art and gain confidence using new and varied techniques has been a joy to see.
Jacqui’s knowledge in her field, calm and gentle manner and inspired projects make this class an exciting place to be and one that is very much looked forward to each week. Whatever your child’s artistic interests may be I’d encourage you to give these wonderful sessions a try.”
