This is a fun activity in Milton Keynes
MK Art Clubs aims to inspire children to explore their creativity through a range of guided and independent art and craft activities. Families can try some our free workshops, where children take part in a range of creative sessions. For a more in depth creative experience, we offer 5-week courses where children can work on creative projects. These courses help kids and young creatives to develop new skills, build confidence and express themselves through art.
Through our creative workshops, we aim to use art as a tool to help children build confidence in a supportive environment surrounded by like-minded individuals. Our workshops also encourage collaboration, communication, and problem-solving, helping children develop valuable social and critical thinking skills along the way.
