Below is a list of workshops we offer:-
Summer time crafts: Funky Beach Bag and Badges
Get ready for summer by creating and decorating a
Funky beach bag. Use it again and again for your holidays, as a new
school bag or to hold your football kit. Next get involved in a
giant beach scene Art Attack challenge & make summer badges.
Clay Creations
Explore the variety of fabulous effects you can
achieve with clay. Make and decorate a unique door plaque for your
room & move on to experiment with pinch pots, coil pots and more!
Willow Sculpture - Giant Bug or Butterfly!
Construct a giant bug or beautiful butterfly
sculpture using withy willow & tissue paper. This workshop involves
team work, planning & construction skills. Take inspiration from
participating in a huge insect Art Attack challenge.
Weaving and sewing with a difference
Learn how to make beautiful fabrics from recycled
materials. You don't need expensive equipment to weave. A cardboard
box can easily turn into a loom. Start by making a weaved bracelet
and progress on to circular weave or hanging. A great project that
can easily be continued at home.
Krazy Kaleidoscopes
Create your very own kaleidoscope using a tube,
mirrors, beads, glitter and all things sparkly! Change the shape of
the mirrors to change the pattern. Decorate the outside with a
section of a giant paint and glitter picture we will be making as
part of the workshop. A truly exciting activity!

Case study
Ralph Allen & Norton Hill Secondary Schools – Banes. August 2010
Summer School. Funky Art House with ‘Your Time’ funding ran Summer School workshops for 9+ in two different schools. Workshops included creative clay, weaving and sewing, willow sculpture, Eco bags and kaleidoscopes. Funky Art House worked with up to 400 pupils over the ten days with workshops lasting for 6 hours per day. The workshops gave the opportunity to develop different skills such as team work, construction skills, problem solving and negotiation. The children produced some amazing art work which enabled them to learn completely new skills and have lots of fun along the way

'I have used Funky Art House for a number of projects. These projects have always been very successful. Jo and Amy have a wide range of art and craft activities that are suitable for all ages.
They are able to support ongoing projects in school or provide whole day activities during the holidays. They form excellent relationships with all children and are able to maintain a sense of fun at all times.
Their Funky Art House activities during the YourTime! Summer Holiday activity weeks were a sell out, and the feedback from children and parents was always very, very positive.'
