Join us this Easter break for a week of fun and practical sessions for primary school aged children! There are two sessions running every day, so you can choose the time slot that best suits you.

This week we are taking things back to basics, to create art for arts sake!

Each day will focus on a different art medium, working with an artist you will playfully explore CREATING each day.

This is a brilliant opportunity to make, and be an artist!
