Young people aged 11 and over can get creative these school holidays with Estuary Arts Centre’s new classes designed with that age group in mind.
The centre’s new youth activator/coordinator, Nico Benella, is also one of the tutors, bringing her expertise in illustration to the role.
The Hatfields Beach resident will be teaching digital illustration, photo illustration and gif animation basics, which she expects will go down well with this age group.
Two clay tutors will also be offering classes – either hand-building/sculpting techniques or pottery wheel-based, including fun clay mug making with tutor Sandra Mather and ‘Your Pet as a Pot’ clay class with Michelle O’Laughlin.
Nico says as this is new, classes will be limited to around 8-10 students, and they will be able to grow that number over time.
“There is a lot of interest in it, because it’s a bit different from more traditional art or painting,” she says.
The school holiday classes are also a taster and keen students may be able to continue with a course in term-time.
