I am running art classes for children since 2000. First group of children used to call themselves and some still do call the group “SmArties”.

SmArties have done a few projects using different media –ceramics, watercolour painting, pastels, 3D works with paper.

SmArties has also established a Shadow Theatre were everything made and played by the group. Shadow Theatre is a moving installation where artists perform.
