Join Our Term-Time Hangouts!
We love seeing young imaginations run wild! Our workshops are all about having fun, building confidence, and getting hands-on with exciting materials. We let children and young people take the lead, exploring their ideas, experimenting with techniques, and making choices that reflect their own unique creativity.
We bring a treasure trove of materials and techniques to every session, from paints and clay to cameras and recycled objects. Whether you’re crafting, drawing, or designing something brand new, there’s always something amazing to discover. While we have a project plan ready to inspire, we’re here to make space for exploration, teamwork, and self-expression.

Painting and Drawing: Play with colours, textures, and techniques to create your own masterpieces.
Printmaking: Get stuck into block printing, screen printing, and mono-prints.
Photography: Tell stories and capture moments through a camera lens.
Sculpture: Shape, mould, and build with clay, recycled objects, and more.
