Ceramics
Clay is a wonderful medium for children to experience- it is highly responsive to touch and very forgiving. In our workshops and classes, children have the opportunity to manipulate, twist, roll and pinch their slab of clay into a three dimensional object.
Felt
Children have the opportunity to design their own brooch based on a particular theme, then create it in Felt to take home. Our workshop helps develops drawing and design skills and fine motor skills through detailed cutting and sewing.
Paper Mache / Eco Sculpture
In our Paper Mache workshops, children will learn to work in three dimensions and produce a one off creation, puppet or sculpture, using recycled materials such as egg-cartons, newspaper, used boxes and cardboard rolls.
We also run eco-art classes and where children have the opportunity to make wonderful objects and artworks from recycled objects and found materials.
Painting
Painting is a wonderful expressive medium for children to explore. It is different to drawing as it shows less detail, but children can explore colour, texture, and movement. It is another way to develop observation of their surroundings, and interpretation.
In our painting workshops, children will get to experience painting with a range of media, including inks, acrylics and watercolour.
Drawing
In our drawing workshops and classes we use a mixture of imaginative & observational drawing. We also get children to experience using variety of drawing implements, on different surfaces.
Through the act of drawing, children develop a multitude of cognitive abilities including problem-solving strategies, symbolic representation, spatial intelligence and literacy skills.
Print making
Printmaking is a satisfying activity for children- they can produce multiple reproductions with out too much effort. Print making is a magical experience for them.
In our Printmaking classes we explore a range of printing techniques, with variety of mediums including foam, wood, cardboard, and linoleum.
Collage & Mixed Media
In our collage and mixed media classes, children will explore working with a variety of materials for collage, including found objects, self-sticking plastic, tissue paper, and nature based materials.
