Join Jen for these afterschool sessions at the Crafty Cuppa. Each session will be full of creative fun. The Children will have access to a large variety of craft materials and will be encouraged to create things they wish to create. There will be a craft planned if any child needs guidance but generally this session is designed to organically work with the child to support their interests. Parents are asked to stay on site but not in the workshop as we have found children don’t respond as well with parents in the room. We ask for at least one parent to stay in the cafe in case there is an emergency or situation, this saves filling in paperwork. This club is designed for children between 4 and 9 Years old.

There are so many great artists works out there, masters such as Monet or Picasso to Andy Warhol and Banksy. Each week we will be looking at a different artist and try to use the same materials to try to create our own art inspired by that artist. This class is aimed at 8-14yr olds. If you have younger children who might be interested in a similar simplified class then please do get in touch. Jen will be at each session to help with any issues. We don’t allow parents into the workshop itself but in order to not have to fill out lots of forms we do request at least one parent per child/group stays on site in case of an issue. Jen is DBS checked and 1st aid trained.

This quiet session is just for children with sound sensitivity and cope better in a quiet environment. Each session will have a variety of activities available for your child to choose from, from colouring to crafting, even a space to read. This really is a group only for quiet children. I know often children have noise sensitivities but are loud themselves but this really is for children who are able to be quiet so everyone is comfortable. It’s often hard for quiet children to make friends so we hope this will be a wonderful group to help. Jen will be at each session to help with any issues.

Do you love to create cards or partial to a bit of scrapbooking? Why not bring your project along or work on something new at our papercraft club! This is a social club for fellow crafters with lots of donated materials and tools to use to help create your projects. We have been very fortunate to have supplies and tools donated or sold cheaply to the cafe so we can offer a social club for those who can’t afford to buy things to craft with and also to try to encourage a social environment where we are all equal. We wish to encourage you to use the materials we have to offer but only take what you create. Jen or Sue will be in the workshop to help with machinery, techniques or ideas you would love to try. We hope to run this group regularly so it would be great to get your feedback.
