Discover the joy of creating imaginative and experimental artworks in our Mixed Media Fun workshops, perfect for primary school-aged children eager to explore their artistic talents.
Children aged 5 to 10 will dive into creative projects inspired by picture books, learning techniques like leaf-rubbing to bring their artwork to life. Older children aged 11 and 12 will explore more advanced methods using charcoal and string, encouraging experimentation and skill development.
Each session is designed to be hands-on and engaging, fostering creativity and confidence in young artists. The workshops are led by local artist Saqlain Binte Saleh, who guides participants through each step with enthusiasm and expertise.
- Morning sessions for ages 5 to 10 run from 10:30 to 13:00.
- Afternoon sessions for ages 11 and 12 run from 14:00 to 16:30.
- Workshops are held on two Thursdays, allowing children to attend one or both sessions.
- A small fee of $10 per child applies, making it an affordable creative outlet.
