Art Explorers is a creative mixed-media art class designed especially for the home education community. Led by experienced tutors, each session explores contemporary and historical creatives, themes and techniques while encouraging creativity, curiosity and individual expression in a relaxed and supportive studio environment.
Working with a wide range of materials, including drawing, painting, printmaking, sculpture, clay and animation, young artists will develop new skills, build confidence and enjoy a welcoming space to create, connect and grow as part of the home education community.
