We run two very popular Saturday Art Schools from our studio in Dunstable; Saturday Morning Art School for ages 6-12 and the Fine Art Academy for ages 13+. Both follow Bedfordshire term dates.
Next half term 9th June – 14th July 2018
Saturday Morning Art School

Ages 6-12
Art studio, Dunstable,

Over the course of time, students will use a wide variety of materials and learn a range of processes including; drawing, painting, ceramics, glazing, printmaking, mixed media 2D, mixed media 3D, textiles surface design and stop motion animation. This is a really fun group that produce absolutely outstanding work, gaining confidence in their own creative abilities and learning processes they would not get to experience at school.
Our Saturday morning Art School is perfect for children that are really interested in Art, Craft & Design and looking to develop their creative skills further. As the sessions are an hour and a half each, they are ideally suited to children who enjoy longer periods of sustained focus working on artistic activities. Children need to be able to follow studio safety rules and work in a way that is respectful to themselves and others at all times.
Fine Art Academy

Ages 13+
Art studio, Dunstable,
£12 per session (1.5 hours) which includes all materials, GSCE and A-Level support where applicable. Bookings made half termly through this website.
Lots of fun projects ranging from printmaking and ceramics to painting and sculpture. Exploring unconventional drawing, ink and bleach, drawing with sticks, understanding different ways of mark-making and object making. With a strong focus on observational drawing, developing a wide range of skills, building confidence and taking creative risks.
Our Fine Art Academy is perfect for students that want to build their knowledge, skills and confidence within Fine Art (as well as the occasional Design project!) . This is a small, supportive group where students are given lots of encouragement and individual creative freedom. There are no formal assessments, these sessions are not like the school experience, however the skills gained will provide invaluable support for any Art and Design course.
