What it’s like

Saturday art classes in print making, painting, ceramics and textiles for young people aged 8 to 25, with printmaking workshops for disabled kids too.

This is a proper art studio setup rather than a one-off craft session. The Saturday Visual Arts Classes run in eight-week blocks and cover print making, painting, ceramics and textiles, so your teenager gets to actually build a body of work rather than just one soggy painting to bring home. Ages 8 to 25 are covered, which is a wider bracket than most kids' art clubs bother with, meaning an eight-year-old and a twenty-year-old could genuinely both be in the building on the same Saturday.

There are also printmaking workshops aimed specifically at disabled children and young people aged 8 to 20, which is worth knowing if the usual art class setup hasn't worked for your child before. Alongside the classes there are gallery exhibitions on site, so a visit doesn't have to be about doing the workshop yourself, you could just wander the gallery first and decide from there.

The eight-week block costs £95 at the standard rate, with a higher rate of £185 for those who can pay it. That's not pocket change for a block of Saturdays, but it buys a proper structured run of sessions rather than a single afternoon. The building is wheelchair accessible and there's a small gift shop if you want to come away with something.
