Graffiti Art

This is your opportunity to get trained in the art of self-defence by the experts. Defence Lab is a no nonsense, reality based self defence system that has featured in such blockbuster movies as Batman Begins and The Dark Knight with Christian Bale, and Mission Impossible 3 and Jack Reacher with Tom Cruise. The training is not just physical, but mental and psychological too. You will not only have a lot of fun, with a lot of action, but you will also walk away feeling more confident and empowered.

Textiles Animation

Rediscover a younger you by coming to Mrs Gregory’s textiles animation workshop in the Prep Art Studio… Looking at local ‘flora and fauna’, you will create woven, mixed-media bugs, florals, and their environments. Then using your creations and iPads you will then create a mini stop-motion animation to bring your artwork to life!

Relax with a soothing pebble-painting session – from neon mandalas to pearlescent galaxies, there is a style for everyone! Mandalas have been used as meditation aids for centuries, and ‘The Kindness Rocks Project’ spreads sunshine by leaving painted pebbles for people to enjoy. Join us in this vibrant and chilled activity and decorate some beautiful stones to brighten your (or someone else’s) day!
