Come and create with us over the school holidays at Pitzhanger’s Easter Holiday Club!
Overview
Join artist and arts educator Lauren Veevers (@lauren.veevers) as we create handheld 2D puppets from recycled materials. Let your imagination run wild with your character design and bring to life anything from a scuba diver to a superhero, a fox to a fairy or astronaut to an anteater before creating sets and props to bring them to life and show off their moves.
Concessions: £20 for families with household income below £30,000 per year; FREE for low-income families in receipt of Free School Meals, Universal Credit, and/or Jobseeker’s Allowance.
This holiday club is designed for children aged 7-11 (Key Stage 2) and consists of two separate days, 12 and 13 April. Participants are welcome to sign up to one or both days. The activities will differ on each day, exploring things like character design, puppet-making, puppetry, visual storytelling in the style of animation, and more!
Please ensure that your child has a packed lunch for each day, as meals will not be provided. Our arts educators and assistants are all DBS-checked.
