Piroo Molnar
As a mother of two creative young girls living in Oxford, Piroo was always on the lookout to improve their art skills. Yet despite searching for years, she was unable to find the right school and methods in the area. After stumbling upon Cygnets' website, Piroo made the decision to open her own Cygnets branch in North Oxford, to be a part of her, and other children's artistic education.
"I'm so excited to see all the artworks from the students through the unique projects offered with Cygnets Art School. My main goal is to ensure the children are all satisfied with their art at the end of every session, and see their smiles!"
