WEEK 1> 3-7 July

The daily activities are shown at the bottom of this page

Join us for a summer immersed in a wide range of explorative art and crafts activities!

We hope to get outside into our beautiful grounds to explore as often as possible.
The club is for children aged 5-12 years and will run from 9am – 3.30pm
(drop off from 9am-9.30am, playground pick up 3.30pm sharp)

Children will need to bring their own packed lunch (and sunhat/sunscreen/raincoat if needed).

The club costs £30 per day, this includes the provision of a wide range of art materials, refreshments, and snack.

Please select the days that you wish to book, and for how many, then proceed to fill in your children’s details.

Please note that we are not a registered childcare provider, and we do not have additional support beyond our Artists and Creative Playworkers.

The club is made up of a series of creative art activity workshops. If your child does not enjoy art, or a busy environment, please look to book them into a more suitable workshop. We want all of our children to get the most from their art club workshops, in a safe and happy environment.

FREE PLACES -
There are 4 free places available each day for families with low income, such as those in receipt of Universal Credit. If this applies to you, and would benefit your family, please add your preferred dates to your basket and proceed to fill in the child's details.
We suggest to make use of one or two days per child and limit this to 5 days per child over the 4 weeks, so that other families also have the opportunity to benefit from the sessions. Any additional bookings will be removed.
These few places are much needed, so please be considerate when booking so that these can be shared amongst other children too.

*We reserve the right to enquire which benefit you are in receipt of.

WEEK 1> 3-7 July

Monday 3 & Tuesday 4 July with Abbie Lois: Fun ways to draw & print nature.

Monday 3 – Meaningful Marks

Exploring the garden for shapes and outlines identifying plants, animals, insects and trees for inspiration to inform blind drawings and a series of colourful monoprints.

Tuesday 4 – Printing With Nature

Foraging in the garden to find natural materials for printing. Learning different methods of print-making we will be looking at objects as stencils, textures, relief print and even printing from the objects themselves.

We will go on to create simple folded concertina books to take home as a reminder of the day.

Wednesday 5 – Garden Life

Big drawings of tiny things! We will look for insects and plants to make pictures using different drawing methods like charcoal and rubbers.

Exploring surfaces! Finding textures and taking oil pastel rubbings combined with making your own animal stencils to create pictish stone drawings.

Thursday 6 - Fantastical Creatures

Explore theatricality and fantastical creatures, through giant mask-making and body sculpture using cardboard, foil, papers and garden finds, culminating in an afternoon mini-parade on the lawn.

Friday 7 - Sculpting Underwater Animals

Make sgraffito drawings and soap carvings! Learning to use sculpting tools in different ways, we will be making underwater-themed sgraffito drawings and soap carvings which they can use as soap at home and see how the sculpture changes.
