UAL Future Creatives
We are really excited to be partnering with UAL Future Creatives to deliver inspiring and engaging courses this Summer for both primary and teens age groups. We are the only institute locally to be delivering these fantastic courses.
This course is a chance for your kids to get stuck in a multidisciplinary project, enabling the exploration of a wide range of art and design techniques and the creation of a portfolio of work.
Previous classes have covered everything from 3D design and drawing to portrait painting and mod roc sculpture, and there are plenty more unique sessions in the pipeline. Whatever the project, you can rest assured that your Future Creatives course will be wide-ranging, inspiring and dynamic, with learners free to experiment and create their own unique pieces of work - avoiding the dull cutting-and-sticking and inflexibility of many traditional arts and crafts clubs..
Alongside the hands-on learning, our teachers, who have been specially selected by the University for their industry experience and expertise, work to ensure the skills and learning are delivered in an enjoyable, creative and wellbeing-focused way.
Future Creatives classes provide a supportive environment in which students can explore their creativity, develop their work and build their confidence, all while making new friends. At completion of the course, students will receive a certificate to recognise the skills and techniques they’ve tried out during the classes.
