After School Club

Service Description

**Starting 4 June 2026** A weekly guided art class where children learn through making, creating and transforming simple materials into meaningful artworks. At The Muse Art School, each session is carefully planned with clear artistic techniques and structured guidance from a professional artist. Children are introduced to painting, sculpture and drawing through projects that teach observation, form, composition and creative thinking. This is not a step-by-step craft class, but it is not completely free exploration either. Each child begins from the same artistic proposal, learning real techniques and developing practical skills. Along the way, imagination is invited to take part. A sculpture that begins as a cat may become a mouse. A portrait may turn into a character. Colours, textures, details and final decisions become part of their own creative voice. This balance between guidance and freedom helps children feel safe enough to create, while building confidence in their own ideas. We work with clay, paper, cardboard, kitchen roll tubes, recycled materials, branches, leaves and everyday objects — simple materials with endless possibilities. There is something powerful in this. These materials reconnect children with a more natural, hands-on childhood. A world away from screens, where imagination leads and creating becomes part of play again. Children build sculptures, characters, toys, portraits and collective artworks — learning that art is not only something to look at, but something to live. More than learning techniques, they develop confidence, patience, attention and the joy of making something with their own hands. --- ## ✨ Special Launch Offer To celebrate one year of The Muse Art School, we are offering: **40% off the first month** for bookings made until the end of May. --- ## 📍 Class Details * Ages: 5–11 * 3:45pm- 5pm * Every Thursday * 25 Bury Street, Abingdon (close to Cancer Research) * Duration: 1 hour 15 minutes * Monthly fee: £60/ 4 sessions (after this first promotional month ) * Start date: 4 June 2026 --- ## 🌱 Why this class?
