The purpose of the club is to give the children an opportunity to work with experienced artists who will introduce them to different materials and techniques.
All these workshops are suitable for children over 6 years old. We will be using ink, paint and other substances that can ruin clothes, so wear something you don’t mind ruining. Parents are welcome to leave their children in our care during workshops.
In fairness to all participants and workshop leaders, and to ensure that there are enough materials and space for all children taking part, please note that we will now be restricting the number of children at the Young Art Club to 12 per session, and you must book for these workshops before 6pm the previous evening. Thank you for your cooperation.
We now operate a 'pay as you can' policy across all our events. For the young art club you can choose to pay £5.00, £7.50 or £10.00 per child. It is important to us that the club is affordable for local families, but if you are able to pay the higher price, please consider doing so, as the club costs a lot more to run than we will ever make back from ticket sales.
1st November - Clay workshop with Alis Branwen -
Plas Brondanw has created a community pottery studio, this is an opportunity for the children to create their own pottery pieces. Come and create vessels with the artist Alis Branwen. They will need to be left in the Plas to dry, and we will dry them in the kiln, ready for you to paint and glaze them in the following workshop in December.
6 December - Painting and glazing your bowls and pots - An opportunity for you to add color to your pieces and glaze them, to create finished ceramic pieces that will last for years. There will also be an opportunity to decorate plates that have been provided by Portmeirion pottery, which will be usable finished plates at the end of the process. You will need to leave your work after the workshop to be fired again for the glaze to work, we will let you know when your pieces are ready for collection. Children who have not been to the previous workshop are welcome at this one, we will provide pieces for them to decorate.
These workshops are suitable for children over 6 yrs old. We will be using ink, paint and other materials that can ruin clothes, so please wear old clothes. Parents are welcome to leave their children in our care for the duration of the workshop.
