Andover College and Chapel Arts Studios are thrilled to invite 13–16 year-olds of all abilities to join our FREE Art & Design Saturday Club!

Our Club enables you to develop your creative ideas and explore your interests in making, designing and crafting. Starting in October 2024, the Club will offer exciting weekly sessions, which take place in the vibrant art department at Andover College.

Club members are encouraged to ignite their passion for the arts through experimental drawing projects, as well as exploring techniques in printmaking, 3D-making, sculpture, ceramics, textiles and mixed media arts. Members learn to work independently, as well as how to collaborate on art projects too! Previous themes included self-portrait, storytelling, member-led topics, and many more.

We would ask that you make the commitment to attend every Saturday session (10.00 – 13.00) during term time. Together we’ll attend exclusive national events, including Masterclasses with creative industry professionals – in 2023-24 the Club members took part in a Masterclass with creative and strategic brand agency Bond & Coyne! We also visit art galleries and invite practising artists and designers to share their experiences. Plus, our end-of-year trip to London to see your Club’s creative artwork on display at the Summer Show exhibition at Somerset House!

We’re looking for curious young artists, designers, makers, crafters, creators and thinkers. Our Club is fully inclusive and we welcome young people with a variety of accessibility needs and neurodiversity – all we ask is that you come with an open mind, turn up and give it a go! Join us at Andover College, where your artistic adventure begins…
