WORKSHOPS
The workshops at The Purple Lab are designed for people with little to no experience where everything is taught from scratch at entry level. Our workshops are a fun, hands-on & safe way to test or explore your creative talents or interests! We are always developing new workshops so if there is an introductory creative subject you would like us to look at providing in future, please contact us and we’ll see what we can do!
YOU CHOOSE
The Purple Lab, part of Phreaze Factory, known for its customised services makes no exception here! Book a single workshop or combine multiple elements of your choice from our portfolio for a tailored workshop series! Individuals, community groups & organisations are all welcome! With only 8 stations available, we can guarantee an intimate creative experience, the smaller numbers ensuring you get the most out of your sessions with us!
LOCAL ARTISTS
Supporting our local creative industry, The Purple Lab employs Tauranga-based artists for the majority of our workshops with guest artists invited on occasion to keep it fresh!
PATHWAYS
