Weekly Art & Design Clubs | St Matthew’s

St Matthew's Primary School

What

We’ll be returning this autumn with an exciting, new series of Weekly Art & Design Clubs for children in Years 1 - 6! Our weekly clubs give children the opportunity to really get to know a medium or discipline of art and design and develop their technical skills and confidence. 

During the autumn term, we’ll be exploring the creative possibilities of textiles. Think printing, tie-dye, stitching, felting, weaving and more! We’ll have fun playing with colour, texture and form and discover how artists and designers have used textiles to explore ideas and tell stories.

Check out our gallery to see what our amazing young artists created in our previous clubs.

Where

The clubs are taking place at St Matthew’s Primary School, Cambridge (map).

Who

The clubs are taught by our experienced team of art-educators. Find out more in About Us.
