Watercolour & Ink with Lydia Kirk

About Lydia 

Lydia Kirk is a UK contemporary artist whose work explores a playful yet refined visual language, blending painterly textures with a strong sense of composition and colour. Her practice is characterised by a balance between spontaneity and control, often featuring organic forms, layered surfaces, and a distinctly modern aesthetic.  

Lydia draws inspiration from everyday moments, travel, design, and the natural world.  Her work evokes a sense of calm curiosity while inviting the viewer to engage more closely with detail and form.  

Through her evolving body of work, she creates pieces that feel both expressive and thoughtfully resolved.

Fantastic after school art classes and school holiday art workshops. Prue and the other teachers are caring and nurture young budding artists. My son loves attending the Rozelle studio.

The kids love paper rock scissors. It is great for their creativity and Prue is always coming up with fun and different arts and craft. I can’t recommend it enough for both holidays and after school activity

Highly recommend as a holiday activity. My daughter asks to go every holidays! We prearrange to go on the same days as her friends just to make the experience even more fun. I love that the art/craft activities are posted for each day prior to booking – meaning we can choose a theme or activity that is of most interest to her.

My daughter attended the Summer Hill Paper Rock Scissors holiday workshop. She had a brilliant time and was buzzing coming home with her new creations. She wants to do it again next holidays.

Had a painting session for EOFY at Summer Hill studio last Friday, and it was an incredibly enjoyable experience! Prue was exceptionally friendly, guiding us through the process with patience and expertise. The whole session was a lot of fun, absolutely loved it!

It's amazing the different artworks my daughter has brought home from after school care. They organise school pick up as well which makes all the difference. Vacation care has also been great. Once I had to pick my son up early and they made sure he could finish his craft in time and didn't feel left out. Thanks Paper Scissors Rock for exposing them to new skills, art techniques and mediums and just for being fun.

We’ve sent our child multiple times to the school holiday programs at Paper Rock Scissors and every time they’ve been so excited to bring their work home, and have had such a great day. Would highly recommend!

What a fantastic studio! Such warmth, encouragement, skill and care given to local budding art students 🎨 My daughter attends their after school program with the very lovely Bryony and loves it. She has quickly grown in confidence and ability since joining the Summer Hill studio. Thank you! Highly recommend ⭐❤️

I couldn’t recommend Prue and the team at Paper Rock Scissors more highly! They have designed an engaging, inspiring space for kids to create and explore art. My son has attended for 4 years (and counting!) and loves it… it’s a great balance for all the sport he does and gives him a beautiful creative outlet. It has been a great way for him to explore, develop his artistic skills and build his confidence. Congratulations and thank you Prue for creating such a beautiful community!

Our daughter participated in after school classes at the Summer Hills studio for a few years. We had The Best experience at Paper Rock Scissors. Prue is super responsive, caring and flexible, the teachers are professional and kind, the kids’ art work is superb. The studio is beautiful, and easy to get to. Our daughter has gained and developed incredible artistic skills, and Prue and her team supported and encouraged her. She is now in an art school! We cannot recommend Prue and her team enough. Thanks!!!!!!!

Prue, Bryony and the entire team at Paper Rock Scissors are absolutely incredible. My daughter has been doing after school art classes here for years and has not only always loved going, but has improved so much in her art. The team is always so accommodating, especially with school pick ups, which is so convenient, and are really great with all the kids. Constantly doing new things and pushing my daughter’s creativity. I highly recommend this brilliant little art studio and team.

Both our girls have loved doing classes with Prue and her team. Such a wonderful after school experience: a calm, creative, nurturing, free time that helps them relax while learning different mediums and styles. We always love looking out for their pictures in the window and we have many framed at home. We've always loved the amazing array of holiday workshops catering for all ages and tastes. I have also enjoyed some of the evening classes. You always know your kids are in great hands.
