Gloworm Studios is a warm, welcoming children’s art studio based in Fairfield, founded in 2016 by artist and educator Marianna Marx. We create a nurturing environment where children are encouraged to explore their creativity with curiosity, confidence and care.

Our programs focus on process-based artmaking and creative exploration, with children working across a wide range of mediums including drawing, painting, illustration, clay, sculpture, collage, anime and mixed media. We value imagination, individuality and the joy of making, rather than producing a “perfect” final artwork.

Gloworm Studios offers weekly after-school art classes, school holiday programs and private lessons for children. Classes are taught by Marianna and Nat, two experienced teaching artists who are passionate about supporting each child to express themselves, build skills at their own pace, and feel safe to explore their ideas.You can learn more about our amazing team here.

Our Core Values

We believe that each child is an artist who holds their own unique creative gifts. Our purpose is to nurture, encourage, and support our young artists along their creative journey. We do this by creating an open, warm, safe and welcoming environment. We prioritize joy in everything we do, and strive to create engaging, uplifting, stimulating and inspiring lessons. We believe there is no one size fits all approach to learning and are dedicated to practicing presence and empathy, to ensure we are providing each child with the support they need. Ultimately we believe in the power of art as a means of personal expression, means of connection and most importantly FUN!
