*Half Price* Two Day School Holiday Art Camp

Ages 7 to 15 | 10AM to 3PM

Monday 13th and Tuesday 14th July

Half Price!

Thanks to generous support from Arts North West, we are thrilled to be able to offer this School Holidays Art Camp at half our usual price - while still maintaining our usual attention to detail in crafting an enjoyable and wholesome two days for your child.

Two Day Art Camp

Your child is invited to two content-packed, yet relaxed and mindful school holidays workshop days, at the beautiful Tamworth Community Centre. Drop the kids off for five hours each day, and they will have plenty of opportunity to learn, play and improve their skills with dedicated, experienced artistic educators; a wide array of high quality artistic resources and materials; access to fresh air and exercise in a grassy courtyard, and opportunities to socialise.


Six Art Classes In Two Days

Kids will have the option to attend 6 different workshops from professional artists over the two days.

Note: We are yet to finalise the programme for this edition of Art Camp. Animation will be a key feature of our workshops. For an example of a usual programme, last Art Camp featured:

Tote Bags with Sophie Honess

Flipbooks* with Danny Stanley

Clay Sculpture with Ava Clay

Bookmarks with Sophie Honess

Comic Books with Danny Stanley

DIY Stickers with Ava Clay

Choose Your Own Adventure

Use the schools resources, such as figures, books and materials, to make a masterpiece your own way, while enjoying the company of other little artists and guidance of the teaching artists. 

Exercise Breaks & Games

Last Art Camp we were lucky to be joined by Kaleb Abbott-Atchison for some co-ordinated outdoor games and activities, and we'll be stoked to have him back this time around!

We understand kids can only concentrate for so long at a time - so, every hour, we give them the chance to completely forget what they're doing, and run and play outside for twenty minutes or so. When they return, they have the option to continue what they were doing, or focus on new skills. This combination of variety, choice and rest allows kids' minds to stay fresh and engaged over long periods of time. 

The Community Centre has a large grassy courtyard, with shady trees, where the kids can play with provided bats, balls, soccer goals, skipping ropes, etc, or just enjoy a snack under the shade of the trees. We will also occasionally run exercise and drama games throughout the breaks.

Food

Light food provided, such as sliced fruit and bottled water.
