Creative Kid's Art Lab - November Art Classes

Art classes and after-school care for children who like to make, create and invent.

For ages 5-13, open from 3-6.30pm on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. The kid's art classes are from 3.30 - 5pm, however children can arrive from 3pm onwards. There is a late-stay option until 6.30pm, so the classes can extend as an after-school programme.

Children can attend for 1 day, 1 week, 1 month, or any combination. Online booking allows for multiple or single day registration, as well as later changing days. Payment by credit card has no additional fees.

The classes provide an opportunity to play and experiment in a structured but caring, home-studio environment.

Activities are designed and supervised by an experienced primary school teacher and artist.

To meet the needs of active and curious children after school we explore a variety of crafts such as sewing, crochet, pottery, felting, weaving, jewellery and woodwork; and the art forms: painting, drawing, sculpting and printmaking.

The activities utilise a child's growing mathematical skills such as estimating, measuring, scaling up & down, changing 2D to 3D, exploring symmetry, and pattern-making. Natural sciences, such as chemistry, biology, geology and physics are included, as well as history and culture.

Experiments and activities...
