Using professional art materials as well as natural and found items - anything is possible!

What to Expect:
Creative Exploration: your child will dive into open-ended art-making, sparking their natural creativity with a choice of projects which can either be completed within one session or develop over the course of 5 weeks.
Hands-On Learning: As they design, construct, and reconstruct their art pieces, children will engage in solution-focused problem solving and imaginative creation.
Small Group Environment: With a limited number of participants, children will collaborate in a nurturing setting, enhancing personal skills like: self-expression, decision-making, patience and uncertainty tolerance, contributing to self confidence and resilience.

Cost £15 per session OR book the whole programme for £70

What we will do: 
Week 1: abstract painting and drawing. We will be mark-making using anything except a paint brush! sponges, sticks, string, with the help of watercolour paint and acrylics, pastel chalks, posca pens and charcoal
Week 2 and 3: we will be creating collage materials - adding to your creations using stencils, stamps, and other media
Weeks 4 and 5; design and make your final creation using what you've already made - perhaps a book, mobile, sculpture or multimedia painting. The choice will be unique to the artist!

The facilitator: 
Jane Pyrgos is a Creative Arts and Play Therapist and practising artist.
