Arty Bods: Summer School is an exciting set of art workshops designed for kids aged 5-11 years old.
Each workshop will be led by artist and Lauren Saunders. Together as a group, your child will get to grips with a range of art materials and techniques, and explore creativity in an art gallery setting.
Using the current exhibitions at Humber Street Gallery as inspiration, young artists will be able to develop their artistic skills from week-to-week. Or if you’re not sure, simply drop in to a session or two to see if it’s for them.
Expect lots of fun, colour and mess (and no cleaning up)!
Young artists must be accompanied by an adult, who can relax during sessions with coffee and cake from our café bar.
