During the Covd-19 pandemic a lot of our local baby and children’s classes and activities stopped running, or moved to online classes. For all of the listings on here please check with the organiser if it is on or off before attending.
I am endeavouring to keep the listings as up to date as possible but please check with organisers first, thanks for your understanding.
Starts September
Term time and holiday clubs, including sewing parties and small group/one-to-one tuition. These sessions are designed to give creative project opportunities to young people who love to get involved in art and sewing activities.
We love to work with young people and our sessions offer the opportunity for children aged 9 – 16 years to make friends in a safe and friendly environment after school or on a Saturday morning. Our sessions run projects on rotation, including areas such as sewing, screenprinting, printmaking, craft, illustration and art! Each session is run by an experienced teacher, and we know how to make our sessions safe and fun. Whether they are new to these techniques or wanting to build on what they already know, we can provide a fun project that will allow them to feel the confidence and satisfaction of making something wonderful. Such projects include making their own clothing, printing their own cushions and crafting their own keepsake box. Come and join us for some creative fun! To comply with government Covid-19 guidance, groups sizes will be small and well-spaced in each venue, with individual resources to use. 10% sibling discount available. Sessions are bookable only in blocks of termly or half termly. All sessions are run by experienced teachers with Enhanced DBS.
