Children’s Art & Sculpture Courses: Adventures In Material & Space

Holiday Art & Sculpture Workshops for Children Aged 6 – 12
Warwick Preparatory School, Banbury Road, Warwick, CV34 6PL

Run in school half-term and holidays, this series of art & sculpture workshops for children aged 6 – 12 focus on creative thinking and technical skills development in the expanded field of contemporary sculpture. Book for one, two or three days.

What are our workshops like?

Our school holiday workshops are designed to spark curiosity and creativity through direct engagement with materials. Each course has a unique focus, guiding children to discover new ways of thinking, making and collaborating. The day is broken up through through a range of different art-making and play activities, from large-scale collaborative sculpture making, to quiet independent table-top activities.

We thoughtfully scaffold each child’s learning journey, helping them build knowledge, develop skills and grow in confidence. By the end of the course, children become confident advocates for their own creative journeys, culminating in a collaborative “in progress” exhibition for their grown-ups to come and enjoy.

We believe in sculpture as a tool for cross-curricular learning. Through three-dimensional making, children explore ideas that connect disciplines such as science, story-telling, maths, nature and design.

Led by Artist & Educator Lauren, this course is influenced by her degree in Jewellery Design & Objects and her experience and training in the Montessori Pedagogy.

We will reimagine ready-made materials to create and construct sustainable sculptures, transforming materials, giving them new life and value and connecting us to place.
