We run art and design classes for children in Pateley Bridge, North Yorkshire. We are incredibly lucky to be able to use two inspiring locations, the 'Number 6 Studio' and 'Fishpond Wood'.

​

The 'Number 6 Studio' is regularly used by artists and art groups in the local area. It provides a wonderful light, airy and well resourced 'real' art studio for the children to use.

​

'Fishpond Wood' is a beautiful, ancient woodland, home to Whitewoods Wellbeing. The woodland comprises primarily Beech and Birch trees, a beautiful pond, inspirations that change with the seasons and a comfortable shelter and hygiene facilities.

​

Classes are for children, aged 4 to 14 years. They take place on Saturdays, during the school holidays and during the week for home educated children. Please go to our bookings page to see our current classes.

 

During a typical class, we will gather for a short introduction as we share the theme and relevant artists. Children will then be free to choose which provocation and activity or activities they wish to explore.

​

There will always be two teacher-led activities, where the children can choose to be introduced to new skills. Alongside this, there will be several 'open-ended' activities for those who prefer to follow their own creative instincts.

 

Assistance from a teacher will always be available when needed. Class sizes are limited to a small number of children to ensure that this is possible.

​

All classes and courses must be booked in advance using the booking system on  this website.
