Welcome to Kanvas and Kraft Art Studio
Empowering Communities Through Art & Creativity
At Kanvas and Kraft Art Studio, we believe art has the power to heal, inspire and uplift communities.
As a non-profit organisation (NPC), our mission is to provide a safe, creative space where children, teens and seniors can express themselves freely while developing confidence and valuable life skills.
Through our initiative, “Give With Us,” donors directly help cover tuition fees for students who would otherwise not have access to art education. Every contribution supports a learner’s journey — turning creativity into opportunity.

Services We Offer
At Kanvas & Kraft Art Studio, everyone is welcome — no matter their financial situation, background or experience.
We believe that art should be accessible to all and that creativity thrives in a space built on kindness, support and community.
Our doors are always open to chat, explore and guide. Whether you’re visiting to buy art or craft supplies, or looking to learn new creative techniques, we take the time to show you how to use your materials, experiment with colour and texture and achieve the results you’re dreaming of. For those who feel uncertain or self-conscious about their abilities, we offer gentle, encouraging art and sewing classes designed to help you unlock your potential.
Many of our students come to us battling social anxiety or self-doubt and soon discover that there’s a place where they belong — where their uniqueness matters and where they can feel safe, supported and inspired to create freely.

A Heartfelt Thank You to Kanvas & Kraft and Candice
"I can’t say enough wonderful things about Kanvas & Kraft and Candice. From the very first class, I could tell this was going to be something special for my child. Every time we walk through the door, we’re greeted with warmth, colour, and creativity. It’s such a happy, inspiring space.
Candice has a magical way of connecting with the kids. She’s patient, kind, and truly passionate about what she does. My child absolutely adores her and always comes home excited to show me her artwork and tell me about what they learned. I’ve seen such a boost in confidence and creativity since starting these classes. It’s been amazing to watch.
What I love most is how Candice encourages every child to express themselves and find their own artistic voice. It’s not just about painting or crafting. It’s about imagination, joy, and self-expression.
We feel so lucky to have found Kanvas & Kraft and Candice. She’s truly helped nurture my child’s love for art, and for that, I’m deeply grateful."

Candice Languag has taught my class of Autistic boys for four years.
Her patience and expertise have guided and encouraged each child to express their creativity in a safe and supported way. The absolute joy as they paint, draw and create, is an integral part of their holistic development .
We are grateful for Candice's input and support. Working with special needs children is a challenge which Candice embraces.
