About
Joyful Pear Design
Joyful Pear Design offers tuition on a range of topics within the Whangārei region. Topics include publishing, computing, photo editing, marketing, genealogy, and art. If you’d like some help with a similar topic let us know and we may be able to help.
Private consultations or tuition are normally hands-on practical sessions that last from 1 to 3 hours, according to your preference. Often there is a follow-up session the following week. We can meet up at your place or at our Design Studio in Onerahi. Individual tuition can include 1-3 people. The group workshops are provided through CEW at Kamo High School, or can be organised for a private group. |
