NERAM Summer Art Camp 2023

We are excited to bring you Summer Art Camp 2023, 3 fantastic days of fun-filled workshops. Children will engage with NERAM’s current exhibitions, and partake in artmaking  in many forms. Activities include brooch making, kawaii cartoon characters, fascinator/head sculpture making, wet felting and more. With at least two art making activities each day, whether your child comes along for 1 day or 3 they will learn a variety of techniques, experiment with different styles and mediums, and cultivate their creative interests.

Our facilitators come from a range of artistic backgrounds (you will have seen their work around the local area!) ensuring each day provides a unique learning experience.
