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.
Holiday Club — Creative Adventures at ART squared
Holiday Club is a perfect opportunity for unaccompanied children aged approximately 8 and over (please check individual workshop descriptions as some sessions may have specific considerations). In small group settings of 6–8 children, my bright, friendly, and well-stocked studio in Castletown provides a supportive, fun environment where creativity can really flourish! The club runs from 10:00 am to 3:30 pm, and children should bring a packed lunch and drink for the midday break. Fresh fruit and squash are available in the studio throughout the day; you’re also welcome to bring additional snacks. Old clothes are essential — we’ll be diving deep into projects, and while aprons are provided, we will get messy!
February Half Term Holiday Club 2026
Monday 16th February
Curious Creatures – Crazy Collage
Today we’ll invent a cast of curious creature characters, designing expressive faces with bright eyes and shiny noses. Using bold, vibrant mark-making, we’ll create a collection of richly textured papers, ready to cut and tear into fur, feathers, scales and more! These playful collage techniques will bring our fantastical creatures bursting to life.
Tuesday 17th February
Rainy Day – Wonderful Watercolours
Even on a rainy February day, there’s colour to be found! Today we’ll explore vibrant watercolour painting, creating joyful scenes filled with bright umbrellas and expressive figures dancing in the rain. Using a range of watercolour and masking techniques, we’ll build layered, atmospheric artworks to spark joy as we await the arrival of spring.
Wednesday 18th February
Pop Art Prints – Lichtenstein-Inspired Printing & Collage
We’ll begin by creating bold bubble-wrap prints in eye-popping colours, before collaging them together to form vibrant, poster-style artworks. Inspired by the pop art style of Lichtenstein—but with our own personal twist—these mixed-media prints will celebrate pattern, colour and creative confidence.
