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.’
