About

A 90 minute art class for 7 - 12 year olds (accompanied) led by artist Steph. You'll learn artistic techniques and each session has a different theme. 

This class is a great opportunity to enjoy creative family time together. Children will work with their adult to create a shared piece to take home. 

Our artist has extensive experience of working with young people including those with SEND and Neurodiversities. We understand that some young people may be older than 12 but find the class age appropriate due to SEND - please contact Hannah.Mackay-Jackson@northeastmuseums.org.uk if this applies to you.

These sessions will be designed to be welcoming and inclusive for all.
