Our weekly sessions provide a calm and positive place for children to create and have fun.

We help our young artists enjoy art in its many forms, by exploring possibilities, persevering with their ideas, encouraging their peers and celebrating their work, while helping them manage their wellbeing by taking time out from a fast-paced digital world.

CLASSES

at The Art Room

Using a diverse range of visual stimuli, our young artists are inspired to experiment with exciting art techniques and media to develop visual skills, artistic ability and confidence through their creative projects.

We offer small, thematic classes for different ages that encourage enjoyment and freedom of expression.

Classes for children age 2-13 yrs
