Art Gyms are back! These creative taster sessions, designed for young people aged 11-18, provide a space outside of school where you can express yourself creatively, whether independently or with others. Our goal is to make creative activities accessible to all!

Each Art Gym workshop is a standalone session, so you can attend any or all as you wish. These workshops offer opportunities for exploration and skill development through projects that are fun, contemporary, surprising, challenging, and even humorous. These sessions will help you shed your self-consciousness and embrace your creative potential.

Guided by our professional artist Janice, you’ll engage in activities like experimental drawing, collage, textile work, and jewellery making. Discover what ignites your creativity, and perhaps step out of your comfort zone. Who knows where this journey could take you!
