About the Hub

A Creative Space for Makers Everywhere

The Smudge Hub is a creative space for educators, parents and curious makers who want real, practical resources for bringing process art to life. Built by Emma and the Smudge team, it’s the place where everything we’ve learned running our Melbourne studio gets shared with the world.

We’re proud to be part of a community of 115,000 creative humans who believe that art should be open-ended, joyful and accessible to everyone.
