Young Artist Classes
Classes run in blocks of 6 weeks.
This allows young artists to build on their techniques throughout the half term.
It also enables bigger projects which sometimes run over 2 sessions.

Each term covers a theme - colour, shape, landscape, portraits, architecture etc
There is an opportunity to work with different materials and techniques - watercolour, acrylics, chalks, charcoal, oil pastels, clay, printing, canvas etc
Along the way each artist will work in their own sketchbook (included in the cost), this is a place to practice, plan and explore

The pop up studio is situated at Stratton Village Hall.
The studio space is a safe and inviting place where young artists can express themselves.
There are structured activities but also time to use their imagination and collaborate ideas.
