Thurs 6th August 10am-12pm - Art Adventurers Club

Date & Time : Thursday 6th August 10am-12pm Location : The Studio, 30 Highstreet Tadcaster Children’s Creative Freedom Workshops Ages 5–11 | This is a guide All materials provided This summer, I'm opening up my studio for some creative fun. Over four dates, with a morning and afternoon session each day, children will have space to explore colour, shape and movement, no pressure to get it "right," and no focus on perfection. Each day has its own gentle theme to help guide the children as they are encouraged to experiment freely with paint, mark-making and mixed media. It's less about technique and more about how art can express feelings, build confidence and spark imagination. Along the way they'll pick up some simple techniques too, but the real focus is trusting their instincts, taking creative risks, and just enjoying the process. Every child leaves with something they feel proud of, and a bit more creative confidence than they arrived with. All materials are included. And while they create, parents are welcome to stay, grab a coffee, and have a browse around the gallery.
