Our Tuesday after school art club is for children aged 7 to 12 years, running from 4pm to 5pm during term time.
June/July Term - Tuesday 3rd June until Tuesday 8th June
WHO: Our friendly kids tutor, Penny, will introduce a variety of skills every week and each term we will carry out fun projects! Our class will have a maximum of 10 children and is the perfect way for them to get creative whilst making new friends.
WHAT: In June/July Term, we will be focusing on…
Printing Techniques: Students will explore various printing methods, including tree bark and leaf relief, monoprinting, and marbling, to create layered, nature-inspired textures.
Cyanotype Art: Young artists will learn the Cyanotype process, using natural materials like flowers and leaves to produce sun-printed images, inspired by O’Keeffe's attention to flora.
3D Sculpture Making: Drawing from O’Keeffe’s sculptural sensibilities, students will design and build organic sculptures with paper mache, recycled materials, and natural objects, focusing on shape and abstraction.
Wire Flower Modelling: Junior students will work with wool and pipe cleaners to create flower models to explore form and movement, mirroring O’Keefe’s floral studies.
Throughout the term, students will engage in close observation, independent thinking, and personal expression of nature, culminating in a mini-exhibition showcasing their explorations and creative voices.
Please note: As we are heading into the warmer months and now have an outdoor space at our new site, we kindly ask that your child is prepared and dressed appropriately for the weather before every session in case we create artwork outdoors.
This includes, suncream already applied, appropriate clothes & footwear, sun hats, and coats when slightly colder. If your child requires bug spray or hayfever tablets, please make sure that they have already had this before class.
WHERE: Globe 1 (Unit 11a at Holme Mills, HD7 6LS)
Why not enjoy a delicious drink at Zapato or have a lovely walk along the canal whilst you wait?
Purchase a weekly trial ticket to come to one session before booking the full block, we’re sure you’ll love it and want to come back!
Please note: we politely ask that you do not drop off your child more than 5 minutes before the class. Our fabulous tutor, Penny, will be preparing all of the fantastic materials!
“The children produced fantastic decoupage pieces. We are looking forward to coming again, and booking places at one of your workshops. The girls have already asked when we can come back. Thank you so much.”
