In the session
Explore, experiment and get messy.
At this age, exploring is every bit as important as whatever eventually ends up on the piece of paper.
Children get the opportunity to touch, mix, dab, roll, print, stick and discover different materials in a relaxed environment.
We begin each class with a short, interactive introduction to the week's theme. This might include a story, song or simple discussion to spark their curiosity and imagination. We then explore activities such as:
These activities help build confidence before children create their own themed artwork or craft to take home. And if they decide to take the idea in a completely different direction, that's absolutely fine too!
We provide ideas and inspiration, but children don't need to copy an example perfectly. We want them to experiment, make choices and discover their own way of doing things. The finished pieces will often look completely different from one another. That's exactly how we like it!
For grown-ups
Designed for little ones.
We don't expect a two-year-old to sit still and follow instructions for an hour!
Children can move between activities, watch before joining in, return to something they enjoyed or simply take a moment with you.
You stay alongside them throughout the class and everything needed for the creative activities is provided.
Come and make with us.
