🎨 About the Portfolio Club

The Portfolio Club is a structured, skill-based art programme for children and young people aged 8–16 who want to take their creativity to the next level and build a strong, meaningful body of work.

Many children progress into the Portfolio Club after attending our Juniors Art Club, where they explore materials and build creative confidence. This programme builds on that foundation, moving from exploration into focused skill development, creative discipline, and independent thinking.

Young people work on longer, project-led pieces, often developed over two to three sessions, allowing time for depth, refinement, and completion.

🎨 What Students Will Explore

• Observational drawing and composition
• Painting techniques and colour theory
• Mixed media and layered work
• Printmaking (including screen printing)
• Textile techniques such as batik
• Large-scale and structured artworks

Consistent attendance supports ongoing guidance, stronger outcomes, and a high-quality portfolio.

🎯 Opportunities

• Work towards building a strong art portfolio
• Take part in exhibitions, including June showcase
• Engage in local cultural and creative projects
• Develop confidence, independence, and creative voice
