About the event
Inspired by Children’s Day in Japan, this multi-step process art workshop guides children in crafting their own vibrant carp-shaped kites. Using a mix of expressive painting and collage, young artists will layer textures and colours to create a bold ‘Koinobori’ symbol of strength and luck. It’s a hands-on creative journey resulting in a beautiful, fluttering masterpiece to take home.
These are child-centred sessions led by two experienced Artsters class leaders who are DBS-checked.
Adults are asked to drop off and collect.
WHAT HAPPENS AT ARTSTERS CREATE?
Our 2-hour workshops for children aged 5-11 aim to nurture their creativity through guided art activities, followed by the freedom to independently explore our exciting resources. Every child will have the opportunity to create their own artwork to take home, as well as learning art techniques to enhance their creative confidence.
