Art-Star Kids Art and Craft Taster Session - Mixed Media

These sessions are designed for children to have some holiday fun and have a taste of the art sessions we will be offering in autumn. They will enjoy various arts and craft activities which will include learning some new techniques.

The first session (Tuesday 24 August) will be printing to make some original creative prints. The second session (Wednesday 25 August) will include some craft activities as well as painting and drawing. We will make some bookmarks, greeting cards and origami boxes using your own design to make a box with a fitted lid.

These sessions are suitable for ages 10 to 17 and all levels of ability.
