Art Makes Life Bigger
At Hot Pizza Studio, professional artists teach real creative skills through classes, workshops, and camps. We also host parties for all ages, team-building events, and other creative experiences.
Upcoming One-off Classes
For adults
Saturday, October 24 from 7:30—9:30 p.m. at 134 Osler Street
Join Sarah Aranha, artist extraordinaire, in this workshop focused on food! Using watercolour and mixed-media (think coloured pencils and collage), we’ll learn to paint our favourite recipes on gorgeous paper, which you’ll take home to cherish (and cook with!). Sarah has the uncanny ability of making watercolours accessible and revelatory in their sumptuous beauty, the best way to capture culinary delights for body and soul. At our 134 Osler Street location.
For kids
Saturday, November 7, 12–2 p.m. at 1152 College Street ~ Grades 4—8
In this one-off class taught by the amazing Steve Bynoe, explore Manga WHILE EATING PIZZA. Learn and refine your own manga style by looking to manga greats such as Son Goku (Dragon Ball), Monkey D. Luffy (One Piece), Naruto Uzumaki (Naruto), Astro Boy, Sailor Moon, and more. We’ll teach students about the effects of exaggerated expressions, unique panel layouts, and fast-paced action so they can develop their own manga worlds. No experience required! Just, as always, curiosity.
Side-by-side
Sunday, November 8, 9:30–11 a.m. at 1152 College St. ~ Ages 7—99
In this class, we will learn to knit very scary monsters using yarn, appliqués, and icords! Knit Master Sandra Moretti teaches knitting like no other: in an accessible, all-levels way; we’ll learn and practice casting-on and off, as well as how to knit in the round. Bring your own knitting needles and yarn* (so that you can take them with you after class to keep working!), we provide the appliqués and icords. Please note, class price is per person. At 1152 College Street location.
*If you’re new to knitting: the best needles for beginners are straight, bamboo needles in sizes 5 mm–7mm—or if you already have yarn, check the label and it will indicate the right size needles to use. For yarn, a bulky-weight wool blend is best, but a medium worsted weight will work, too. These are available at any craft or knitting store. At 1152 College Street location. Please note, class price is per person.

"We love Hot Pizza Studio, from the adult classes to the kids programs, but today's birthday party was simply the best. My daughter loved her party so much, and I just want everyone to know how nice it was to have my kids create freely using fun supplies and have activities catered to their interests. The staff was attentive, caring and made her day so special. "

“The best art studio around with incredible programs for kids and adults. Review from my 5-year-old: "Hot Pizza is the best camp ever. I never want to leave it. I want to go infinity more times!"”
