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.

Creative Youth Halloween

It’s been a busy half term at our Creative Youth group and we’re so proud of the work undertaken by our group.  Over the last few sessions the girls learnt how to make willow lantern ghosts which we hung in the windows of SPACE next to our black cat lantern head.  A couple of the girls also helped group facilitator, Beth with creating a giant witches hate lantern for Halloween.

As always we’re very proud of the progress our group members are making and are looking forward to welcoming them back for Christmas term.  Beth promised the group they could start working on Christmas decorations and goodies after the Half Term Break and so we’ll be back on Thursday and the now growing group will be working on making dried citrus fruit swags for use over the festive season.

 

We’ve got loads more great workshops for home ed young people over this half term that is run on a voluntary basis with only a small contribution to materials, so if you have a home educated adolescent who’d like to make new friends and develop their creative skills, get in touch about coming along to our Thursday sessions!
