5 sessions from Mon 8 Apr 2024 [Show]
Each day a visiting artist will lead art workshops with the children, supported by our creative playworkers. We cover a wide variety of art and crafts with a focus on learning and most of all FUN! With access to a full range of arts facilities and equipment, and use of our extensive grounds, lawns, gardens and woodland.
Our daily activities can be found below.
The club is for children aged 5-12 years and will run from 9am – 3.30pm
(drop off from 9am-9.30am, pick up 3.30pm sharp)
The club costs £33 per day, this includes the provision of a wide range of art materials, refreshments, and snack.
Children will need to bring their own packed lunch and raincoat/sunscreen.
We hope to get outside into our beautiful grounds to explore as often as possible, so please pack raincoats as well as dressing in suitable clothing and footwear.
The club is for children with a love of art and crafts.
This is a busy and noisy environment with up to 32 children participating daily. Please note that we are not a registered childcare provider, and we do not have additional support beyond our Artists and Creative Playworkers.
We want all our children to get the most from their art club workshops, in a safe and happy environment. If you would like to discuss accessibility, please give us a call.
There are a total of 4 free places available to be shared amongst families in receipt of Universal Credit.
Please select one session per week, per child
These few places are much needed, please be considerate when booking so that other families can also benefit from the sessions.
Monday – Painting and drawing
Looking around the garden we’ll record the shapes, colours and textures that interest us the most.
Back in the studio we’ll paint abstract papers which we’ll use along with rubbings from the garden and collage assets to make scenes.
Tuesday – Flower forms
We will use clay and plaster of Paris to create moulds and relief shapes of the leaves and plants we find in the garden. Later we can use the discarded clay to make wildflower seed bombs to take home.
Wednesday - Flowers
choosing our favourite shapes from the garden we’ll use cyanotype to make prints of wildflowers and materials found in the garden. Later we will use some of the cyanotypes to create collages.
Thursday – Printmaking
Today we’ll work together to make a collective map of the garden, creating stamps to print our map. Moving on we’ll look at how we can use a small selection of stamps to make repeating patterns.
Friday – Colours
Celebrating the colours of spring we’ll make marbled paper. Once dry we’ll use the paper to make little booklets for sketching in, and colourful spring collages.
