KidsArt!’s core aim is to teach children to become accomplished and proficient artists who take pride in their artwork, and to nurture and encourage an informed love of art.
Children are given the self-confidence and technical skills to produce their own original art work inspired by a good background understanding of art movements over the centuries.
We provide a fun, stimulating and engaging experience and, over the programme courses, children will build up an impressive portfolio of their own work.
Artwork is sent home as it is completed, accompanied by an illustrated factsheet which records what the children have learned about the artist and the art techniques employed.
The children are provided with good quality sketchbooks for use in class to record techniques learnt and for sketching on gallery visits.
At the pottery clay camp, children will embark on a hands-on adventure into the world of ceramics.

We are a charity exploring with the next generation of designers, consumers and decision makers what sustainable fashion is and how to do it.
In this captivating course, you'll learn how to develop your own unique dress sense and become a responsible designer, maker and consumer. Through practical, hands-on activities, you'll dive into the world of fashion and learn how to design and make clothes and accessories. But that's not all – we'll do it all while being mindful of our impacts on the environment.
We're incredibly fortunate to have the support of leading fashion brands, who have kindly donated their industry waste materials of the highest quality. This means you'll have the opportunity to experiment and create with materials that would have otherwise gone to waste.
Throughout the term, you will become familiar with the sewing machines, essential to clothing construction. We will also explore the art of mending, altering, and thrifting, giving new life to old garments. You will learn about the life cycle of clothes and become a socially conscious influencer, making informed choices about your fashion consumption.
The class will introduce you to new technologies aimed at reducing the impact of fashion on the environment. This exciting learning opportunity is perfect for students aged 8-18 who have a keen interest in fashion and a desire to unleash their creativity in a mindful way.
If you're working towards completing your Duke of Edinburgh "skills" (from age 12+ yrs), this workshop is an excellent choice. You will not only gain valuable fashion skills but can also continue with us for your "volunteering" (from age 14+ yrs).
If financial support is a concern for those attending state schools, please don't hesitate to approach us about a possible bursary place. We believe in making this experience accessible to all.
Join us for a transformative journey where you will gain valuable skills, expand your creativity, and develop your own unique sense of style whilst being aware of the impact on our world.
Plus, you'll have beautiful clothes and accessories to take home as a testament to your newfound fashion prowess. Don't miss out to learn and grow in a fun and inspiring environment.
