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!
