Do you like making things?

Use wire, clay, fabric, plaster of paris, paints, dyes and lots more
    …and make something to take home every week.
Loads of mess, lots of making and unlimited friends and fun.

Imagine a place you can go after school, to chill out in a bean bag under a tree, while making clay animals!

Or you can come into the art studio and sew on the sewing machine, paint and draw with friends, or construct at the woodworking table.

Helen is an artist and teacher (and a mad scientist!) and will support you to make lots of wonderful arts and crafts, including your own inventions!

What do we do?

The art 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 we explore a variety of crafts such as pottery, sewing, crochet, 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 sciencessuch as chemistry, biology, geology and physics are included, as well as history and culture (e.g. who discovered pottery?)

“No class is ever the same. I adapt each lesson to the needs of the children, on the day.”  – Helen
