ART KITS – CREATIVITY FOR ALL AGES

We are excited to be collaborating with ḰELSET PAC to setup this fundraiser.
These ready to assemble kits are created and packaged locally by the team at McTavish Academy Of Art. Each kit includes all the items needed to complete your custom art piece, including detailed instructions to help guide the way. Please select art kits from this page to be included in the fundraiser.

We are located at 1720 McTavish Rd in North Saanich, just up from the Roost Farmhouse. The former Mctavish Rd School.

We make these kits in house. We laser cut all the pieces, with our amazing team of artists including packaging and shipping. We also use local print shops for the printing of instructions. We are a family run community art center in North Saanich.

Each kit is unique and includes everything needed to create your custom piece. For example the 3D Bear kit and the 3D whale kit come with laser cut wooden pieces, paints, brushes, wood glue and colour bifold instructions. If you have any questions about a kit you can send us an email to admin@mctavishacademy.ca we are happy to assist.

For the wooden items we use baltic birch wood sourced from a local wood shop. Baltic birch is a high quality wood that works great for art projects like this. It can be sanded if you would like to leave a natural look and easily painted. If you would like to leave your project outside we recommend the use of a wood sealer or varnish so that the wood does not absorb moisture. The paint is a water-based and non-toxic acrylic paint.
