Art Adventures | Tweens/Teens (11+ yrs) (Term 2, 2026)

Do your teens/tweens love to create?
Do you love that they enjoy being creative but hate that they leave a mess everywhere?!
Want them to learn some new techniques and have some fun whilst doing it (and get them off their screens?!?).

Let us take them on an art adventure!
We’ll explore several different mediums from acrylic and watercolours to polymer clay and jewellery making – and allow participants to engage and create as they wish and at their own pace.

Creating and experimenting with art and sensory materials is wonderful for fine motor skills, creativity and expression of self. Participanting in classes such as these, can also help to gain confidence in new surroundings and with new people, follow instructions as well as co-operate and communicate positively with peers.
