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!

Stormy Seas & Sailing Boats – Watercolour Collage
Dive into dramatic oceans and swirling skies in this wonderfully atmospheric collage workshop. We’ll experiment with watercolour effects, textured mark-making and layered collage techniques to create stormy seascapes complete with tiny sailing boats battling the waves. These beautifully layered artworks look especially lovely framed.

Galaxy Mixed Media
Prepare for a cosmic adventure through paint and colour! Using acrylic inks, pastels, glow-in-the-dark pigments, and layered mixed media techniques, we’ll build glowing galaxies filled with stars, planets and dreamy nebula effects. This workshop is all about experimenting, layering and creating rich, luminous artwork with depth and drama.
Freedom of Expression Friday

Abstract Canvas Painting
A gloriously messy session for children who love to paint freely and experiment boldly! We’ll explore colour, texture and layering as we create abstract mixed media canvases. Expect splattering, scraping, mark-making and plenty of “happy accidents” as we embrace our inner mad artist and create expressive, energetic masterpieces.
