We offer art courses during term time, as well as holiday workshops. Happydoodle is a warm and welcoming club where children can explore art and craft. Happydoodle is the brainchild of Downley artists Lian Chan and Jane Powell.
“We passionately believe that every child has a creative side which should be nurtured. You don’t have to be amazing at drawing or sculpture to enjoy making art, and we h
ope to give young people the confidence to really use their imaginations and explore ideas. What could be more useful in the future than the ability to think creatively?”
Lian and Jane have drawn on their experience of delivering art workshops for children to develop the sessions. We base our sessions on a famous work of art and provide fun and creative activities inspired by that work. The children are given the opportunity to develop their own ideas and approaches experimenting with various techniques and media, such as painting, photography, printmaking, clay modelling and collage.
