Get inspired and hands-on with a series of fun, guided art workshops designed for young creators. Each session takes inspiration from an iconic artist, with step-by-step instruction, creative examples, and all materials provided. Sessions start with a creative challenge or ice breaker to get students thinking about relevant topical subjects.
Children will make, play, and explore their creativity in a fully supervised, relaxed, and supportive environment. We run small class sizes (up to 8) and plenty of individual guidance to help every student shine.
