Friday Art Club | Weekly After School Session | Age 11-16 SPACES AVAILABLE
Our NEW Friday After School Art Club is for children aged 11-16 who love Art and being creative.
We are now taking bookings for the Autumn Term, we have a few spaces available if you would like to join us.
This is a brand new club starting September 2026 and will be held every Friday after school, 4:30-6pm in term time only. Teens will be learning from professional illustrator, Helen Leslie (find out more about Helen below).
Each term we will work towards a final themed piece of artwork, exploring different media and techniques in each session. Our aim is to encourage teens to enjoy being creative, meeting friends and taking time away from screens, in a supportive environment where they will develop their skills and confidence.
Each child will be given a sketchbook in which to base their artwork development and practice. Projects will include drawing and illustration, character development, 3D work, clay sculpture, textile painting, collage, fashion illustration and more. We’ll also use age appropriate cultural references from the art and design world where relevant, to inspire and inform us.
What age is Art Club suitable for?
Art Club is suitable for age 11-16. We run a separate club for younger children aged 5-11.
How does the after school craft club work?
Children aged 11-16 can come without the need for a parent/guardian to supervise as our craft tutor is fully insured, first aid qualified and DBS checked and can provide copies should you require them.
