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?

The workshops provide a playful and experimental learning environment where children explore three-dimensional making through a mix of guided, self-directed, and collaborative activities. Children work at their own pace and engage deeply with materials.
Children may attend for one, two, or three days. Each day functions as a complete learning experience while also contributing to an evolving studio environment. Activities are open-ended, allowing children to join at any point without missing prior learning.
Each day follows a clear, supportive structure:
– Welcome and studio orientation
– Safety discussion
– Introduction to a daily focus or enquiry
– Extended periods of independent and collaborative making
– Reflection and sharing
Mornings focus on large-scale, physical, and collaborative sculptural activities, encouraging children to use their bodies, senses, and imagination. Afternoons shift towards quieter, more reflective work such as drawing, construction, sensory making, or independent table-based activities.
The studio is calm, open, and welcoming, with a dedicated rest and reflection zone for observation and regulation.
Children engage in large-scale sculpture, body-based and sensory making, experimentation with every day and reclaimed materials, and processes such as wrapping, layering, balancing, and assembling. Learning is supported through play-led exploration, short demonstrations, observation-led guidance, and the introduction of key vocabulary and reflective prompts.

Supporting Children with Additional Needs
We welcome children with additional needs, whether diagnosed or undiagnosed. It is essential that you contact us in advance to discuss your child’s needs so we can ensure a safe, productive, and creative experience for everyone, given our staffing capacity. If we are not informed beforehand, we may be unable to accommodate your child on the day. We may also recommend starting with a trial half-day to help your child settle in comfortably.
