This autumn the Playhouse Youth Art Club will have fortnightly sessions.

Experienced artists Jane Stockley and Elaine Winter will lead these sessions that are specifically designed for young people aged 11-17. Each session will have a specific focus to help develop techniques and skills, and, also creative confidence. These sessions will be great to support the skills needed for GCSE (and A level) art but equally can be attended just for enjoyment and a creative outlet.

You can either block book all sessions for £50 (add all four session to your basket and discount will be applied automatically. Only available when all four sessions are purchased at the same time) or book onto individual sessions for £14 per session.

28 September: Drawing
This session will take you through a range of strategies to improve your drawing skills. It will include fresh approaches to mark making using a range of materials and help develop your observational drawing technique.

12 October: Painting with Watercolours
This technique-based session will guide you through a range of ways of using watercolour paint successfully. You will be led through exercises to help you with an exploration of watercolour painting and using the right equipment including specialist papers.

9 November: Printmaking
You will be introduced to accessibly printmaking and be guided how to print creatively and successfully without the need for a press. You will get the chance to experiment with doing your own monoprint pieces.

23 November: Mixed Media
Combining media can open up creative possibilities. This session will look at how combining techniques like collage with other media like paint and drawing materials can produce extra interest and excitement in your work.
