After School Art Club
After School Art Club is informal and relaxed, all about fun and exploration aimed at any primary school children age 5-8/9 year. For 4 year olds, we found the planned activity can be a stretch as we teach a curriculum based art skill, not so much play but get in touch if - as a parent you feel your 4 year old could try a class (you can join to help for that session). Older than 8/9 usually kids prefer not to be with the younger ones, but get in touch if you would like to try. Check out our instagram to see videos of the classes.
Drop off from 3:15pm we will handle the rest! Toast and juice, we start our art activity from 3:45pm to give kids plenty time to arrive from different places. We teach until 4:45/5pm so collect any time from around 5pm - we are here until 5:15pm and are flexible. Max group size 14 however typically 8-10 kids each week.
Pricing each class is £15 a child space, book individually for the weeks you would like to come or get a costing incentive by booking a full term (term lengths can vary over the year)
