** Please note the addition of flexible drop off and pick up times to accommodate different school finish times and travel times. ** Monday after school art club is suitable for all creative kids and this term for the first time ever we welcome guest artist Kate from Loominescent Textiles to teach our young artists all about weaving and textile art alternatively with painting taught by Pippa.
Monday after school art club runs with a drop off time between 3:30 - 3:50 and pick up between 4:30 - 5:00 every Monday term time (we follow the Derbyshire term dates) at the brand new Arts-co studios in New Mills (opposite Milestone Studios). The first 20 minutes will be relaxed warm up sketches, time for snacks (please send children with snacks if they want them), and an introduction to the lesson plan, and the final 20 minutes will include tidy up and quiet sketching. We will be using a range of art materials, usually following a different theme each term and occasionally abandoning this theme for specific events happening in or around New Mills. Previously this has seen all children creating art to enter for Hayfield Pro Loco competition, creating posters for the One World Festival in New Mills, or painting footprint decorations for The Tent People festivals. Children will learn techniques and develop their art skills as well as their confidence. From painting, drawing and sketching to sculpting and model making, each child will learn techniques suitable for their age and ability, so although ages may range from Reception class to Yr 6, activities will often be instructed for their age groups.
Sibling discounts have been applied for two children, if you have more than 2 children wishing to join please let me know so I can add this option too.
All sessions are created by artist Pippa, who is DBS checked and has an appropriate levels of Paediatric First Aid training.
