ART CLUB
4:30pm to 6pm on TUESDAYS & THURSDAYS during term time
For 8-17 year olds
Visit our studio in Longton Exchange Shopping Centre to take part in creative activities that support wellbeing and mental health. Join in with artist-led workshops, with art and craft materials, digital equipment, refreshments and snacks provided.
Weekly sessions are led by Laurel Gallagher (visual artist and qualified teacher), Isla Telford (published writer) and Jenny Harper (professional photographer).
We are not trained therapists but our workshops offer a safe creative space where children and young people build confidence, social skills and wellbeing. We have experience working with children and young people who suffer from anxiety, have diagnosed or undiagnosed autism or other neuro divergent conditions.
“I now have a permanent smile on my face!” - Art Club member
All Art Clubs are FREE to attend. We request half term contributions of £30 per child towards art materials and running costs, but not from those entitled to free school meals and this does not affect your child’s ability to attend.
Each session has 15 places available. Please complete the form below to register your interest. For more information contact us at info@urbanwildernesscic.com.
“I just want to thank you for putting this on. [My child] is really struggling mentally at school and we struggle to get him in but he absolutely loves art club even though his face doesn’t show it. He talks a lot about he is doing and has been inspired…thank you for making a difference” - Art Club parent
