CLASS 1 (Age 5-8years) After Hours Artists: Afterschool club with The Creative Society Manchester.

After 2 years of planning and lots of consultation with our amazing audience... 

We are very excited to finally launch our art sessions for children! 

After hours artists is an afterschool club based in Didsbury, Manchester. Lessons will be taught by practicing artists and cover a range of skills and art mediums. We will also be studying the art and techniques of famous artists, as well as art from a range of different cultures!

At the end of the term, we will hold a friends & family gallery, where children will have the opportunity to show their art to their loved ones and you can hear from the children about their work! This is a way to boost their confidence as well as allow them to observe the development of their skills.

Lessons to begin on TUESDAY OCTOBER 31st after half term.

Class 1: 4.30pm-5.30pmand is for children Aged between 5-7years.

Class 2: 5.30pm-6.30pmand is for children Aged between 8-11years.

The classes will have a small element of child-centrered wellbeing included, such as breathing exercises, designed to give the children the tools to self-regulate, increase positive thought pattens and gain useful techniques that can be used in wider life. We will also be learning about gratitude journaling and doing some creative writing.

Our art teachers’ backgrounds include professional qualifications in Fine Art, English, psychology and sciences. They are all experienced teachers and professional artists, teaching both in public schools, private schools and private tuition. Our teachers have up to date enhanced DBS checks, insurance and first aid training.

This is a fantastic opportunity for your child to delve into in many areas of the creative arts in a unique and exciting way and explore which creative discipline resonates with them the most.

Classes will be held at The Parsonage Didsbury. There is street parking available round the venue. Children will be dropped off by parents at the time of their class and picked up promptly at the end. Parents will not be able to stay inside the classroom. There are a range of cafes, walks and shops around the venue. It is important that children are to be dropped off and picked up strictly on time.

Places are very limited as we would like to keep the classes small, to ensure each child recieves adequate attention.

If this sounds like something you would like, join now!

Once places are allocated, there will be no extra places available.

We are super excited to begin this creative journey with your child.
