We live a little far away, so I worried whether we could keep coming, but at the trial my child said they absolutely wanted to go.

From people who took a trial
I could use materials I do not normally use, and the atmosphere made it easy to ask whenever I did not understand something.
— N., 13-year-old girl / Osaka City
They taught me carefully but still let me do things the way I wanted, and I liked that style.

How a trial lesson runs
We ask what you want to draw and what is on your mind
It’s fine if you haven’t decided what to draw. You can decide together with the instructor.
You draw while the instructor teaches
The instructor looks at your drawing as you work and gives advice suited to you.
You can get a feel for the classroom
See the classroom atmosphere and how you get on with the instructor, and check whether it suits you.
After the trial
After the trial lesson, we explain the school and answer your questions.
