After School Clubs for 8 to 16 year olds

Join Our After-School Craft Club! Unlock Creativity & Skills for Life!

Do you have children aged 8 to 16 looking for a fun and engaging after-school activity? Our After-School Craft Club offers exciting workshops in Jewellery Making, Bag Making, Sewing and Millinery – perfect for nurturing creativity and building practical skills.

For just £65 per month (paid via direct debit), your child will enjoy hands-on crafting sessions led by experienced instructors, taking home beautiful, handmade creations every week.

In today’s fast-paced, digital world, giving children the opportunity to engage in crafting is more important than ever. Here’s why these workshops are both relevant and beneficial:

🎨 Encourages Creativity & Imagination: Crafting helps children think creatively and express their unique ideas, developing skills that are essential in our ever-changing world.

🧠 Improves Problem-Solving & Focus: Whether they’re planning a sewing project or designing a piece of jewellery, crafting helps children develop problem-solving skills and the ability to concentrate for extended periods.

🤲 Teaches Practical Skills: From sewing to bag making, these workshops equip children with practical skills they can use throughout their lives, giving them the confidence to create, repair, and make things by hand.

🤝 Builds Confidence & Social Skills: Working with peers in a friendly and creative environment helps children grow in confidence and develop social skills, learning to share ideas, offer support, and celebrate each other’s successes.

🌱 Reduces Screen Time & Encourages Mindfulness: Crafting provides a mindful, screen-free activity where children can unwind and focus on the present, helping to balance the digital aspects of their lives.

Craft isn’t just a fun hobby – it’s a valuable way for your child to develop key life skills, boost their self-esteem, and make new friends.
