Celebrating a creative year at Art Club

A huge well done to all the budding artists and crafters who joined our Secondary lunchtime Art Club this year. It has been wonderful to see so many young people bringing their creativity, enthusiasm and imagination to our weekly sessions.

Despite our short lunchtime slots, we managed to fit in a fantastic range of projects throughout the year. From creepy stick bugs and spooky spider webs to beautiful stained glass leaves, there was always something new to create and explore. We experimented with air dry clay models, made Christmas decorations, festive houses and cards, designed pin badges and magnets, created spring wreaths and potted flowers, threaded beaded bracelets, and finished the year with a watercolour project inspired by something we love.

(Along the way, we may have created a few more things too — there were so many brilliant ideas and projects that it’s hard to remember them all!)

Everyone worked incredibly hard, developed new skills and, most importantly, had fun while exploring different materials and techniques. It has been fantastic to see confidence grow, ideas develop and individual creativity shine through.

We hope Art Club has inspired you to keep making, crafting and being creative over the summer holidays. Whether it’s painting, drawing, building or trying something completely new, we hope you continue to enjoy the process of creating.

Here are a few photos of some of the amazing projects made this year. It can sometimes be tricky to capture everything, as many artists are understandably keen to take their finished creations home as soon as they are complete - which is a lovely sign of how proud they are of their work!

Well done everyone, and thank you for making Art Club such a fun and creative place to be!
