Janet Keen is widely recognized as the most prominent after-school art teacher in Rotorua.


Her Janet Keen Art School, located on Clayton Road in Pukehangi, offers a vibrant and diverse range of after-school art classes for young people aged from 5 to18. The school is known for its immersive programs in painting, mosaic making, decorative pot painting, book illustrating and sculpting making with air-dried clay and recycled  materials.

Why Janet Keen Stands Out

Specialized Modules: Students begin with 10 beginner modules in painting, mosaics, and mixed media, giving them a structured yet creative foundation.

 Nature-Inspired Setting: Classes are held in a garden filled with organic flowers, vegetables  and native trees, enhancing the artistic atmosphere. She has a rotating display of mosaics, paintings and pottery in her garden and studio/classroom for inspiration.

Regular ExhibitionJanet stages regular” studio and garden” exhibitions of her students work. Students are treated like valued achievers, who meet deadlines. This promotes confidence, resilience and mindfulness while also having peaceful,gentle fun.

  Flexible Scheduling: Sessions run on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays at 3:30–4:30pm and 4.35 to –5.35pm, accommodating various after-school schedules.

  Inclusive Philosophy: Janet welcomes anyone aged 5 and upwards who has a passion for art, making her classes accessible and nurturing for budding and advanced artists.

Phone or Text Janet anytime on 027 351 3887 to enquire about prices and availability. 

There are still places for the rest of term four and we are taking deposits for  2026 now to assure your places. 

Returning students have first priority.
