Newtlings: Summer Art School

Designed for curious and creative children, this unique three-part summer art club introduces a range of artistic techniques through hands-on, artist-led workshops. Each session begins with drawing games and creative warm-ups that build confidence, observation skills and imagination, before introducing a new artistic process to explore.

Across the series, Newtlings will discover traditional and contemporary art techniques while creating unique pieces to take home. Guided by professional artists from Let's Make Art – artists in-residence at Arnolfini – children will develop confidence, creativity and practical artistic skills in a supportive and inspiring environment.

Children aged 7+ are encouraged to attend independently, whilst children aged 5 & 6 are warmly welcome with an accompanying adult.
