ART CAMPS

Join Studio 48 for our holiday and summer weekly art camps! Our art camps offer a fun, creative, and engaging environment where young artists can explore a wide range of techniques and materials.

Designed for children of all skill levels, each camp day is filled with hands-on projects that inspire imagination, build confidence, and encourage artistic expression. Whether it's painting, clay, mixed media, or something entirely new, our camps provide a supportive space for learning through making.

Our Art Camps runs on select holiday periods over the course of one or multiple weeks. You can choose to book the full week or select individual days to fit your schedule. Each day features a variety of activities centred around a specific theme, providing a well-rounded creative experience.

I knew Sally was fab but Freyas canvas painting party was brilliant and beyond expectations. The kids were engaged from walking through the door till the end of the party. Sally and her ladies were great at guiding the kids while allowing them to express their art in their own way. I can't recommend Sally enough.

KIND WORDS

Our daughter celebrated her 9th Birthday with her friends making jewellery with Sally. Everyone had a lovely time, including the parents.

All the children's parents said how lovely and relaxed the party was and how the kids had a lovely time. We would highly recommend studio 48 for any party 😊

We had a 7yr old birthday party here with 17 kids. Sally was great and had arranged for 2 extra helpers. The kids were used to trampoline park and soft play parties but they got stuck into crafts for an hour and a quarter. We were worried there wouldn't be enough to fill the time but the kids loved it and we had to try and stop them creating more things when it got to pick up time.

Great choice for a kids party who likes crafty things.

My daughter had her 9th Birthday party at Studio 48 painting cute animals on canvas. Sally took good care of the girls from the moment they entered the studio and supported them throughout the activities. The place is very spacious, bright, beautifully decorated with lights and art work. The girls could also ask for their favourite songs to be played while they were painting. The parents were very impressed with the place and each girl took a beautiful canvas back home. Sally made us feel relaxed during the party. Thank you for making our daughter's birthday special :)

Sally is very talented and really great with the kids. It's so nice for them to have something every week which is fun and interesting, where they are supported and challenged - you never get the impression that they are told what to do (or what not to do) but rather inspired and encouraged.
