After School Art Club
After School Art Club is a fun, relaxed session for unaccompanied children aged 8 and over. The sessions are tailored to the attendees, so the age limit is only a guide, and the activities are suitable for a range of abilities, from around age 8 right up to older teens.
The sessions run from 4 - 6pm, Monday to Wednesday, with a maximum of 8 attendees per session. Children will work both individually, and collaboratively on a wide variety of projects and activities, developing their creative skills across a range of media in both 2 and 3 dimensions.
Please feel free to pop by to say hi and see the studio for yourself! Follow the Art Squared social media channels to available projects as they develop.
TT Half Term Holiday Club
Holiday Club is a perfect opportunity for unaccompanied children aged approximately 8 and over to really delve into a variety of unique bespoke art and craft projects. In small group sessions of only 6 to 8 children, my bright, friendly, and well stocked studio in Castletown Square provides a supportive and fun environment for creativity to really flourish! Club runs from 10am - 3:30pm, and children should bring a packed lunch and drink for lunch break . Fresh fruit and squash is available in the studio throughout the day, children are also welcome to bring their own snacks. Old clothes are a must, as we delve deep into our projects and although shirts &aprons are provided, we still get messy!

Expressive Abstracts - Mini Art books & Canvas masterpieces
Today is all about abstract expressionism as we let loose with large brushes, acrylic ink, paint, charcoal and more to create bright & abstract canvas artworks, and mini art books. We’ll explore layers, colour, value, contrast, rhythm and more as we compose our canvas masterpieces!
Wednesday 5th June
Need for Speed - Canvas Painting
Working on large canvas boards we’ll be using acrylic & poster paints to create ‘speed blur’ backgrounds, which we’ll over-paint with a speed machine or creature of our choice - TT motorbikes, race cars, cheetahs, or even emus! With drawing guides & templates on hand to assist if required, what speedy scene will you paint!

Terrific Trees - Modroc Madness
Studio favourite material mod-roc (plaster & fabric) is back, in this messy & fun 3D sculpture workshop. Using wire modelling & moulding techniques we’ll create majestic spring trees that appear to be bursting with life! They’ll make excellent keepsake centrepieces to grace any table, windowsill, or mantlepiece.
Friday 7th June
Deep Sea Diving - Collage Chaos
We’ll enjoy some expressive mark-making with acrylic ink & paint to create some deep sea themed backgrounds, which we’ll turn into scenes from the deep, complete with collaged divers, sea creatures, and maybe even some monsters, using my huge stock of hand-painted & printed collage papers.
