Art Club
Art Club is for children 8+ (and their families) to explore their creativity. Each club will have a theme. This could be a guest artist’s work, an explore arts award, or maybe developing a new technique, using a new material or trying out different ways to be creative. The sessions are free and there is no need to book.
