Arts & Craft
September Sessions
Indoor art and craft sessions running this September, free for all registered members aged 8–18. Running at two venues: Docklands and Carpenters Centre, Stratford.
What to expect
Young people get a chance to take part in a range of creative activities, from freestyle painting where their own ideas lead the way to themed sessions guided by our mentors. Every session is relaxed, hands-on and built around having fun.
Where you can find us
Sessions run at two venues: Docklands and Carpenters Centre, Stratford. Both are indoors, warm and fully equipped. Check with us for which venue is closest to you.
Who is this best for?
Perfect for anyone who enjoys getting hands-on and making things. Especially great for younger members aged 8 to 10, and for young people who like to express themselves through art. No experience needed at all. Just come ready to create.
Free for all members aged 8–18
