ST WERBURGH'S ⫸ TERM 5 and 6 ⫸ MONDAY

✺ ST WERBURGH'S ⫸ MONDAY ✺

We are committed to keeping our sessions more affordable than comparable art enrichment and after-school provision in Bristol, because we believe creative opportunities should be accessible to all families.

Our pricing reflects the care, expertise and preparation behind every session — from detailed planning and high-quality resources to our combined years of experience as art educators. We carefully select well-resourced, professional materials and invest in training our facilitators to ensure every child receives a genuinely enriching and inspiring experience.

We have held our prices steady for the past three years. However, due to rising material costs, we have made the considered decision to increase our fee slightly to £10 per session. This adjustment allows us to maintain the quality and depth of provision that families value, while continuing to offer excellent value for money.

Term 5 = Monday 20th, 27th April, 11th and 18th May - 4 sessions

Term 6 = Monday 1st, 8th, 15th, 22nd June, 6th, 13th, 20th July - 7 sessions

May 4th - Bank Holiday and 29th June - Inset Day

11 sessions = £110

About us >>
LET’S MAKE ART is an independent arts organisation run by artists and educators Alice Hendy and Karen Davies. They are artists in residence at the Arnolfini, Bristol’s International Centre for Contemporary Arts. Their fun and inventive style has led them to work with many like minded organisations and artists, delivering accomplished projects for diverse audiences. 

They are passionate about the importance of creative subjects in schools and truly believe that studying and participating in art supports learning in other subjects. Art For Schools started in 2015 by Let’s Make Art to provide multi media arts programmes for key stage 1 and 2 pupils and since then they have provided an oversubscribed Art Club at Ashton Gate. Exploring all aspects of making, literature, art history and experimenting with diverse materials and techniques, we value young people as natural artists who have a freedom of expression. Art For Schools allows creativity to flourish and elevates children’s art to the status it deserves. Every year we enter children's artwork created at Art Club into the Young Artists Show at The Royal Academy in London and have had four successful candidates exhibit their work. 

Please visit our Instagram Art For Schools to see more of what we get up to. 

St Werburgh's Art Club is run by a St Werburgh's parent, Alex Stoloff... Each week he will teach different activities, introducing a large range of techniques and materials, including; collage, drawing, collaborative painting, watercolour, sketching, printmaking, stitching, sculpting, graphics, cyanotypes, papier-mache, wearable art and more. Each child will make a bespoke sketchbook to customise and keep.

A little information about the facilitator:

From Alex;

Hi, I’m Alex, and I’m truly excited to be offering a new art club to Key Stage 1 children of St Werbugh's primary school. The club is in collaboration with Let’s Make Art, who run some truly awesome art workshops for children at their base in the Arnolfini. I’m here to give your children a safe space to express themselves and expand their creative horizons, building on techniques they may be familiar with along with introducing them to new mediums.

I have a background in art, having studied fine art at Chelsea College in London, and also having completed a few printmaking workshops in Bristol (Spike Island, Bristol College). I also have a background as a Playworker, having been a senior Playworker at Sefton Park after school club for several years, and have been involved with St Werbugh’s Primary as a voluntary reader for the last 5 years. I’m currently a voluntary learning support assistant at Willow site once a week. Both my children currently attend the school, Suki is in Year 5 and Rocco in Year 1.

I really look forward to giving your children a safe and inspiring space to explore their creativity, and discover new techniques to express themselves. The club will always be a fun exploration of art, and your kids will bring home artworks that will bring joy to you and themselves. Thanks and I hope to welcome you to the Art Club in term 2!
