The Art Cohort in Chelsea Road, Bath is running a whole series of special events and workshops for children right through May half term and into the Summer holidays, including a number to mark the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee.
The workshops are aimed at children aged from pre-schoolers to 13 years and cover a range of techniques and materials, from flower crowns to paint and polka dots.
“We’re really excited to launch this year’s Children’s Summer Holiday Workshop programme at The Art Cohort, inspiring children’s imagination through high quality art-making that builds skills and confidence,” said Kat Dawe Schmeisser from The Art Cohort.
“This year we start with a week of Eco-Artivism celebrating our wonderful planet and the things we can do to cherish and protect it. We have some exciting workshops throughout the summer inspired by famous artists, including taking inspiration from Matisse for collage making and painting with polka dots inspired by Yayoi Kusama. And we’re delighted to have our iconic two-day workshop, The Art of Illustration, return for the summer. This is always a sell out and loved by the children who attend it.”
