If you are on an NDIS plan, contact the studio to talk to our NDIS team so you can book classes as part of our Art as Therapy program. We believe all art should be accessible.
If you are an old friend, come and see our new studio and upgraded ceramics studios. And if you are a friend we haven’t met yet, we can't wait to see you.

Baiame is the creator spirit of the Hunter Region. He is painted on a cave in the Upper Hunter and looks out across the valley. Baiame is depicted with no mouth as he doesn’t make comments and he has no arms or feet as his limbs are outstretched to take in all that he sees. Baiame also has a tail as he is not just a human spirit but animal as well. Like Baiame, AMS Art Studio is an inclusive place that welcomes all to create.
