Arty Bods is a new and exciting set of Saturday morning art workshops at Humber Street Gallery, designed for kids aged 5-11 years old.

Running for 12 weeks, each workshop will be led by artist and art instructor Lucy Brooke. Together, your child will get to grips with a range of art materials and techniques, and explore their creativity in an art gallery setting.

Using the current exhibitions as inspiration, young artists will be able to develop their skills from week-to-week, or if you’re not sure, simply drop in to a session or two to see if it’s for them. Expect lots of fun, colour and mess (and no cleaning up)!

(Children must be accompanied by an adult, who can relax during sessions with coffee and cake from our café bar). Find more info and book tickets on their website here.
