At Eti Bahar Learning & Design Studio, I design educational programs, workshops and visual resources for schools, museums, libraries, NGO’s and families creating meaningful ways of children to explore, create and connect with the natural world.

Meet the Founder

I’m an art educator, illustrator and creative learning designer with a simple belief: children learn best when they are given space to wonder, explore and express ideas in their own ways.

My work brings together visual arts, storytelling, nature and creative thinking to turn educational ideas into experiences that children can see, make, imagine and remember.
