Once Designs Art Studio is a great space in Bundaberg to get out of the rain. They specialises in children’s art education with kids art classes in Bundaberg owned and operated by Amy Lawley, a qualified and registered teacher with a passion for the arts. Once Designs Art Studio provides a safe, fun and supportive space where kids can express themselves through art.
