Mini Makers Studio provide a platform for pre-schoolers & primary aged children discover the wonderful word of creativity and art in a safe, friendly and welcoming environment.
Aasta Dearnaley, the principal and founder of Mini Makers Studio, created the business to provide an outlet to share her experiences and teaching techniques with children, all the while encouraging them to explore, create, learn and enjoy.
Mini Makers Studio, at the conclusion of extensive trial periods, elected to use only very specific brands when stocking art supplies and mediums used in Mini Makers classes. The number one priority in selecting materials is safety. Aasta’s final decision on the best products to use was ultimately based on those within her immediate surroundings – her children. Would she have peace of mind in her children using these materials? Yes – without doubt.
Consequently, Mini Makers Studio use and endorse the following brands. All are market leaders who produce safe, non toxic, environmentally friendly art supplies.
