Art Hoppers

Hello I’m Dion, local mum of two tiddlers aged 1 and 3. I have over 15 years experience of working in community arts with children and young people and I can’t wait to meet a new group of art hoppers. Paint brushes at the ready!

We will try a new art technique each week, exploring lots of different materials and types of art. In this five week course we will be inspired by a different artist each week, learn about colours and colour mixing, textures, nature art, print making, collage, sculpture and more! This is going to be fun for the adults too, so come prepared to join in with your toddler for the session and work together.

This isn’t messy play session but it will be process driven with a focus on exploring the art materials rather than making a perfect finished item to take home. There will be a worksheet to take home each week with ideas for continuing the theme at home with every day items and basic art supplies. The sessions are geared to age 2+.

After the session you can enjoy a chat with other participants (your new friends!) in the community run Hive cafe in the same building. Such a fantastic accessible space with space for buggy storage and a nearby free car park.
