RAFT Studio

'Connecting our Community through Creativity'

RAFT Studios Charitable Trust is an arts and crafts studio based in Torbay, Auckland. It’s a place where people can come together to create, connect, and share what they make.

We’re named after the raft at Waiake Beach — a familiar landmark and a symbol of home. For us, it also reflects how art can be a life raft, offering support, expression, and connection within our community.

Term 4 kicks off on the 9th October,

with familiar classes alongside new classes

and workshops.. bookings are now open .
