At Mini Makers Craft Club, we believe every child is an artist.
Our carefully planned sessions are designed to nurture creativity, build confidence and encourage children to explore through art, crafts and imaginative play.
Each week follows a new theme, inspired by the seasons, nature, stories, famous artists, different art styles or the world around us.
Every class is thoughtfully planned to be engaging, educational and, most importantly, fun.
All materials are provided, and every child will take home something they have proudly created themselves.
It all started with our children…
One of the things we have loved most as mums is watching our daughters learn and grow through creativity.
From the first time they picked up a paintbrush, to proudly bringing us their latest creation, we have seen how much joy, confidence and imagination can come from simply giving children the opportunity to make something themselves.
We have loved sharing those moments with them — the messy ones, the funny ones and especially the “look what I made!” moments.
It made us think… why not create a space where lots of little artists can experience that too?
A place to explore different materials, try new techniques, get messy, be imaginative and, most importantly, have fun.
And that’s where our Mini Makers Craft Club came from.
Something created from our love of art, our love of watching children learn, and our belief that every child is creative.
We are so excited to finally share it with you.
'It's at this early age when our children learn most about themselves and their environment. Creating art helps children in preschool to learn a wealth of skills.
In the first five years of a child's life, their brain develops faster than at any other age. Learning through art and play is so important as it helps children to become independent thinkers and problem solvers.'

Claire
I am a professional pet portrait artist with an Art Foundation Diploma and a Bachelor of Arts degree.
After several years raising my young family, I am delighted to finally be able to share my passion with other children than my own.
I believe that every child deserves the opportunity to create freely, explore their imagination and feel proud of what they make - whether it's a carefully painted masterpiece or a wonderfully messy experiment.

If you do need to cancel, please can you give at least 48 hours or more before the class. This means fees can be refunded or optionally transferred to another class as appropriate.
Due to sourcing resources for the classes sadly, if you cancel less than 48 hours or are a no-show, no refund will be issued.
