Choosing an art class for your child in Bengaluru
A class's Instagram won't tell you what a month costs or who will teach your child. So we read the fee pages of nine Bengaluru art and pottery studios and two online schools, our records of the four art teachers on mytribe, and the 14 requests 13 families sent us for a kids' art or clay class between April and October 2026. Here's what it costs, what the fee leaves out, and what to watch for in a trial class.

How much do kids' art classes cost a month in Bengaluru?
At a Bengaluru studio, expect about ₹3,000 a month plus GST for 8 hours of class. openhouse runs 4 two-hour classes a month, and its ₹2,500 kit makes the first month ₹5,500 plus GST. A live online class costs about ₹900 to ₹2,000 a month, and you can start at home with paper and a kit from ₹99.

₹3,000 a month plus GST
A studio class near home
openhouse: 4 classes of 2 hours, at most 10 children, ages 5 to 12, and a ₹2,500 kit once. FLUX charges ₹4,000 with its kids' club
₹13,000 for 24 classes
An art school's short course
Artville Academy: 75 minutes each, two or four a week, ages 10 to 12, a set of materials included
Why are some kids' art classes so much more expensive?
Counting each one's kit, three months at openhouse and Artville's short course cost about the same: ₹11,500 plus GST for 24 hours, against ₹13,000 for 30 hours. Artville asks for the whole course at once and runs longer classes. openhouse goes month by month, so you can stop after one. Online costs less because you get fewer hours and buy your own colours.

Art studio, home tutor or online class: which is right for my child?
Your child's age decides most of it. Most studios take children from 4 or 5. Online suits a child who will sit at a table and draw for 40 minutes. A home tutor suits a shy child, or one who finds a busy room hard.
How old is your child?
Any of the three works at this age. openhouse takes 5 to 12 for ₹3,000 a month plus GST. Online costs less an hour, about ₹280 with Sonika Gupta, if your child will sit and draw on their own. Mud Effects' clay sessions start at 8.
How do I find a good kids' art class near me?
Start with your building and your child's school: ask in the society WhatsApp group who teaches art nearby, and ask the school about an after-school club. Then look at the studios in your part of the city, below, and pick one you can get to every week.
Can my child try an art class before we pay, and what should I watch for?
Ask for a trial class: openhouse books one, Artjio gives a free online demo, and Sonika Gupta lets a child sit in on a running class for free. In the trial, count the children, see who is teaching, and check that the children also get to draw their own ideas.
What extra costs come with a kids' art class, and is there a refund if my child stops?
Before you pay, ask about a joining fee, a kit to buy and GST on top, and whether you pay for one month or more. If your child misses a class, openhouse books a make-up through its app, but Art Beat doesn't make one up. None of the studios here promises a refund if your child stops, so pay for one month first where you can.
What does a kids' pottery class cost in Bengaluru, and do we get the pieces back?
A kids' clay session at a Bengaluru studio costs ₹1,500 to ₹1,850, for 90 minutes to 2 hours. Wheel and Potter, Trayah and Mudcast glaze and fire the piece, and you collect it 2 to 4 weeks later. Mud Effects' kids' page doesn't say, so ask before you book.
A longer session: Wheel and Potter, Bagalur
₹1,500 a child
A shorter session: Trayah, Jayanagar
₹1,750 a child
2 hours of hand-building, ages 5 to 12

How much is a kids' art summer camp or one-day workshop in Bengaluru?
A week of holiday art camp at Art Beat costs ₹3,000 (5 days, 11:30 to 2, ages 4 to 8), and its first two summer 2026 batches sold out. A single 2-hour workshop with materials costs ₹899 to ₹1,299 there.
Before you pay, settle these five
- How many children in the batch, and who teaches
- How long a class runs, and how many in a month
- A joining fee, a kit and GST
- One month or more, and what if your child stops
- A trial class, and whether you can sit in
