They explore projects working with paper sculpture, clay, design, mixed media, watercolour and acrylics. Every student works on their own individual project – at the end of the session they’ll go home with a finished piece of artwork!

Half day workshops are 2 hours; full day workshops are 5 hours (4 hours + lunch hour). Full day students must bring their own packed lunch (no nuts, chocolate or sugary snacks)Art K recommend their full day sessions for age 7+. In their experience, 6 year olds can find a full day in the studio challenging so their half day sessions may be a better fit.
