Everything Can Be Art with Vee Gunn

About this event

Each week, children discover a world of mixed-media materials. They’ll work with upcycled clothing and fabrics, pre-loved crockery, beads, buttons, ribbons, and more. Then, they’ll transform these unexpected materials into artworks and keepsakes they’re proud of. To begin, every session includes a friendly, guided lesson. That way, no one ever feels stuck. After that, there’s plenty of room to experiment, make choices, and follow their imagination. There’s no single “right” way to create – and that’s the whole point. Most importantly, our club is relaxed and encouraging. Mess is welcome, and every idea is worth exploring. Along the way, children build real confidence. They learn not only how to make things, but also how to trust their own creativity. As a result, they begin to see the world a little differently. Suddenly, an everyday object can be full of possibility. Something old or forgotten can become something beautiful and new. It’s creative, hands-on, and a little bit magical. At the same time, it introduces big ideas about imagination, resourcefulness, and caring for our planet. By giving old things new life, children discover just how much can be created from what we already have. Each week, your child will leave with something they made themselves. Even better, they’ll leave with a growing belief that they are an artist. No experience needed. No pressure to be “good.” Just bring curiosity – we’ll supply the rest. Ages 7 – 13
