ABOUT ME
My name is Kasia Hebda, and I’m a professional artist and art conservator from Poland. I’ve been painting for over 20 years and have dedicated my life and career to learning everything about art – its theory, technology and techniques.
I run my creative studio at School House Studios in Country Lane, Queenstown, where I work – create, design and educate.
LEARN FROM A PROFESSIONAL ART CONSERVATOR AND ARTIST
I bring deep technical knowledge to every workshop. You’ll learn not only how to improve your technique, but also the science behind methods and materials, giving you the tools to make intentional artistic choices and elevate your work. In my classes I combine professional expertise with hands-on learning.
MASTER COLOUR, TECHNIQUE, AND MINDSET
My workshops are designed to go beyond technique, helping you cultivate a strong artistic mindset. You will:
- Learn colour mixing and theory for more vibrant and accurate results
- Develop intentional artistic decisions, from composition to finishing touches
- Grow your confidence in building skills that last a lifetime to sustain a satisfying creative habit.
- Overcome anxiety of making art – learn how to actively accept the fear of making mistake. This is crucial to keep making art
BUILD SKILLS THAT LAST A LIFETIME
Art is a marathon, not a sprint. I focus on a realistic long-term development, teaching you to set achievable goals and overcome creative challenges. My approach combines practical instruction with inspiration and mentorship to ensure real progress in your work.
FIND YOUR VOICE
You’ll receive personalized guidance and hands-on learning, helping you stay motivated and inspired throughout your creative journey. My goal is to help you find your own style, not copy others. You will leave the workshop feeling confident, equipped, and excited to continue creating – well, that’s what my students are saying.
Creating beautiful artworks will be a welcome “side effect” of this experience.
TESTIMONIALS
I recently attended my first Watercolour classes taken by Kasia. With her expert guidance I was thrilled with what I achieved in a very short space of time. Not only is Kasia extremely talented, but she can expertly convey her skills in the learning environment to her students. I was a complete beginner, but now I have the confidence to explore and enjoy art as a hobby.
Meme
Kasia is an amazing art tutor … very positive and encouraging for a beginner like me. I have been to 3 of her classes, each different and informative.
Thanks Kasia
