🕐 1:30pm – 3:00pm | Wednesdays, Thursdays & Fridays | 10–12 July & 17–19 July

This is summer creativity at its best – a space to experiment, build skills, and bring bold ideas to life. Whether your child is a budding artist or just loves to make stuff, these sessions are a chance to explore real materials, learn new techniques, and have fun in a relaxed, friendly studio environment.

Each day brings a different focus – from watercolour and acrylic painting to manga drawing and mixed media mapping. Sessions are designed to be fun, flexible, and inspiring – with the chance to take home work they’re proud of.

✨ Session Themes:

Wed 9 July – Watercolour Worlds
Learn how to blend, spatter and layer to create dreamy landscapes or fantasy scenes.

Thu 10 July – Printmaking Pop-Up
Explore gelli plates, foam stamps and layering techniques to build your own mini print collection.

Fri 11 July – Drawing Manga Faces
Master expressive eyes, face shapes and moods in a session full of anime-inspired sketching fun.

Wed 16 July – Mixed Media Maps
Invent and illustrate a world of your own using collage, ink and storytelling elements.

Thu 17 July – Acrylic Canvas Day
