Q. Is this session tied to the Artist of the week?
Our space will be decorated for the artist of the week, and some project tables may be lightly themed as well. Family Arts sessions are not as directed as art clubs where we complete bigger projects and tackle bigger learning concepts, touching on topics like the environment, politics or positive identity while building art skills.

Q. What are we doing to prevent loads of waste?!
We work hard to keep reusing and recycling all our materials. All offcuts are chopped down into smaller and smaller usable pieces, and we are always looking for cool new ways to keep reducing our waste. After 6 weeks we have filled just 1 cardboard sack, and 1 black bin bag of rubbish. We've not filled a plastics bin up yet! We are dedicated to reducing our own, and our communities excess materials.
