Company activities and impact

During this year we have continued our holiday ‘Art Schools’ and moved location to a space which can be dedicated to our activities, This is called The ArtBox and is shared with artist, Caroline Mercer. This means that we have been able to widen our offer, such as establishing a regular after school clay club and offering adult/ child/ family artmaking sessions. We are now able to meet individual additional learning need through providing 1:1, or small group, ‘Mindful Makers’ sessions; making art and learning mindfulness techniques simultaneously. We applied and successfully became an ARTSAWARD centre, which means we are now able to offer recognised qualifications in art making. We continue to work closely with local schools (both in schools and in the studio) to work with vulnerable children and their families. We continue to run visiting workshops in schools and colleges in all kinds of artmaking activities as well as clay and ‘The Mindful Makers’ programme. We have also developed adult workshops which help to support and fund 25% of our subsided places for young artists.
