New Groups for Young People and Families

While Beth who volunteers her time to run Art Play is busy running the Saturday Club for Andover College and CAS we are having a break from Saturday Art Play. However, we are not cutting down the sessions we run to empower families to get creative.

Adding to our regular Thursday group, Creative Youth for 11 – 16 year olds, we also have three new groups starting in March.

Every Monday from the 4th March we are running Creative Kids for kids from birth to ten years of age. This is a space for younger children to engage in art play, watch short film, build dens, make friends, learn artistic skills and grow in confidence with their care givers.

On alternate Tuesday afternoons from 5th March we begin our Home Ed Into Film Club where young people 12+ will come together to watch films together, to learn about film making, film theory and film criticism, with other opportunities available to them through Into Film

On the first and third Wednesdays of the month we will be running a Home Ed All Age Lego Club at the Titchfield Parish Rooms. This is a chance for children of all ages who are home educated to come together to learn and play through creating together with other children and their families.
