Kids arts and crafts workshops are at the heart of what we do. Whether its building or making an object from scratch, recycling and re-imagining everyday items, or getting immersed in a new skill or artistic style - we have the course for it!

We can guarantee that whether it be carving, brushing, drawing, mixing, scratching, stitching, snapping, binding, weaving or snipping these will be real skills being taught by top craftspeople, artists and professionals: this is not glitter and glue but real art and craft.
