Belinda Chan Beaton


Belinda believes all children are natural artists and thrive in an environment that nurtures creativity. She is fluent in English, German, French and Italian and teaches a variety of media and techniques she enjoyed learning during her school years at Rudolf Steiner Schule in Basel and at inspiring institutions such as the Art Students League in NY and Cornell University fine arts classes with late professor and artist Zevi Blum (see info button below). 

One of Belinda's passions is paper engineering, she loves paper pop ups, Origami and Kirigami as well as bookbinding that she learned at the Center for Bookarts in NYC.

Each child designs his/her own sculpture and finishes it to take home to proudly display their unique piece of art.

Cost per child CHF 135.- per day which includes all materials, a warm lunch, fruit and snacks/drink 

These sculptures make a great present for parents or grandparents and look really nice displayed in a parent's office or at home. It can look like a bronze sculpture or it can be painted with color, see examples of students below:


Our Values

We always choose quality over quantity and strive to personalize each lesson to the children attending. 

We use non-toxic and environmentally friendly art supplies for our students. 

There is an educational aspect tied into our lessons, be it about nature, the world, artists  or materials. 

Our goal is playful learning and  acquisition of new skills that encourage new ideas and foster creativity.


The more children can use and experiment with varied media and materials, the more they hone their creative agility and dexterity.

 Workshops are open to kids from 7 years up and are usually on weekends and holidays. We also have sculpture workshops for adults during the week.
