Family Art Class (Jan - March 2027)

Shipley Art Gallery, Gateshead, NE8 4JB
Saturday 23rd January 2027 - Saturday 6th March 2027
Join us for a monthly Saturday art class for 7-12 year olds and their grown ups, but accompanied teenagers also welcome. ​Each class is booked separately ​so you don't have to attend every month.

At each session you'll be taught by a professional artist, and will try different techniques such as watercolours, ceramics, mixed media, drawing and more. You will have the opportunity to use a wide range of high quality materials.

  • Accompanying adults are encouraged to join in, the class is a great opportunity for families to enjoy creative time together. 
  • The session is suitable for 7-12 year olds but accompanied teenagers also welcome.
  • Our artist has extensive experience of working with young people including those with SEND and Neurodiversity's. We understand that some young people may be older than 12 but find the class age appropriate due to SEND - please contact [email protected] if this applies to you.
  • These sessions will be designed to be welcoming and inclusive for all.
