After School Art Club
After School Art Club is a fun, relaxed session for unaccompanied children aged 8 and over. The sessions are tailored to the attendees, so the age limit is only a guide, and the activities are suitable for a range of abilities, from around age 8 right up to older teens.
The sessions run from 4 - 6pm, Monday to Wednesday, with a maximum of 8 attendees per session. Children will work both individually, and collaboratively on a wide variety of projects and activities, developing their creative skills across a range of media in both 2 and 3 dimensions.
Please feel free to pop by to say hi and see the studio for yourself! Follow the Art Squared social media channels to available projects as they develop.
Holiday Clubs
Holiday Club is a perfect opportunity for unaccompanied children aged approximately 8 and over to really delve into a variety of unique bespoke art and craft projects. In small group sessions of only 6 to 8 children, my bright, friendly, and well stocked studio in Castletown Square provides a supportive and fun environment for creativity to really flourish! Club runs from 10am - 3:30pm, and children should bring a packed lunch and drink for lunch break . Fresh fruit and squash is available in the studio throughout the day, children are also welcome to bring their own snacks. Old clothes are a must, as we delve deep into our projects and although shirts &aprons are provided, we still get messy!
