Art In the Docks - Saturday Kids Club

Designed for young artists of all abilities, these weekly sessions offer a relaxed, welcoming space where imagination can run free. Each Saturday, children explore a variety of hands-on art activities. From painting and drawing to sculpture, collage, and mixed media. Guided by friendly, professional Artists, kids are encouraged to experiment with new techniques, express themselves, and build confidence in their creativity. Characteristically, the majority of the attendees are NHG residents and family groups who can reach us on foot. As well as families, we invite mothers with infants, even though it would be hard for many of them to engage in the activities. We do this because we know that this is a place of belonging and community. For some single parents with pre-school aged children this is one of the very few options to socialise. Staff volunteers are required to work alongside workshop leaders to help deliver the session and support participants.
