General (6)

Which ages do you cater for?

We have a range of classes from toddlers (2-4) up to classes for ten years and up. Children tend to prefer to be in classes with similar ages, we can advise which group is best.

Will there be materials?

We supply all the materials and the children will get a chance to explore lots of different media.

What about food?

We do not provide food, however the children will have a break half-way when they can have a snack inside or outside (weather permitting).

How much will it cost?

All our prices are listed on the Classes page. Please note that the prices on the website are us up-to-date as possible. For current prices please contact us.

Are the teachers qualified?

Pippa is a qualified teacher who has worked in the private and public sector. We are Ofsted inspected and our children enjoy themselves whilst learning.

How long has Art Academy been running?

Art Academy has been established for over 8 years. Some of our children have been with us for a long time and, now they’re grown up, often return to help out with classes.

Parties (4)

What kinds of activities will we do? 

This depends on the child’s age, for younger children painting and collage are usually the best choices, for example decorating a treasure box or mask. Older children also enjoy these activities however sometimes they prefer a more serious theme. We can try and adjust the activity to whatever theme your child would like.

What kinds of food do people normally bring?

You are welcome to bring any refreshments; cake, cupcakes, healthy snacks, sandwiches, or pizza delivery (we recommend Mascalzone on the high street). We do have a fridge to store food and would also recommend juice cartons over cups of drink. We provide a tablecloth for the table but no utensils so please make sure you bring these.

How early should we show up? 

We recommend you arrive no earlier than fifteen minutes before the party if possible. We find that it is better that the children all arrive around the same time so that they don’t get tired too early!

Can adults stay during the party?

The parents of the birthday child are allowed to stay or leave, it’s completely up to them, however we do ask that all other parents leave after they have dropped off their children to avoid crowding. The children will be perfectly happy so you can go and enjoy yourself and let us take over.
