Budding Artists - for children

I am a community artist and run art classes and workshops for children at local schools in Surrey and from my art studio at Oaks Park. These clubs are called Budding Artists and are open to children of all ages and abilities.

Budding Artists - Book your Child's clubs and workshops

I run Budding Artists which is an art after school club for primary aged children. The children are inspired by the great masters of art to produce a unique piece of art each week. Different techniques are taught each week building on previous weeks so that eventually the young students begin to fell confident in their abilities. These art clubs give children a change to also relax and express themselves which can be a welcome relief after a full day at school in a formal setting. Studies have shown that indeed art is good for children! Budding artist clubs take place after school and the workshops take place during the holidays and at weekends.

More Creative Clubs & Workshops for Children

During the holidays, I sometimes take things outdoors too, running relaxed, creative workshops and holiday sessions for children in the park. I also run CATS Club, a STEAM-based after-school club combining creativity, art, technology and science, at schools throughout the term. Read more about these clubs below. You may be interested to hear that we also run weekly art classes for adults.

What people say

Jo was very friendly and she welcomed us into her new studio. The girls felt as if they were real artists when they used a variety of paints, pencils, pastels and crayons to create some unique pictures. Jo encouraged them to mix interesting colour combinations to create their own still life compositions. They were inspired by the pretty flowers on the table and the autumn scenery of the park that surrounded them.

Lily loved the club, her drawings of cats are much improved and she told us that you also had a look at artists’ drawings. I am impressed, this club seems to be very well done, thank you!

I love Budding Artists because it means that I can relax and draw with my friends after school. It makes me feel happy and I bring home lovely work to show to my mum
