Edinburgh College of Art

Edinburgh College of Art Saturday Art Club is an exciting 18 week course designed for young people aged between 13 and 15 years old to learn and explore many art and design techniques, including clay, printmaking, sculpture, collage, textiles and more! Guided by Teaching Fellow in Fine Art and international artist Bobby Sayers, Club members will be encouraged to shape the course to fit their interests and how they want to explore different creative techniques.

Club members also take part in external events including The Visit to galleries in Scotland, The Masterclasses with leading industry professionals, our End of Year Exhibition and the Summer Show, where Saturday Clubs nationwide exhibit their work in a public exhibition – all for free! The spaces are limited, so we encourage you to apply soon to secure your spot!

We prioritise those from underrepresented backgrounds, with focus on those from low-income households, parents who didn’t study at higher education, diverse ethnic backgrounds and English as a second language.

Applications open August 1st and close September 30th.

Club dates:
31 October 2026 – 04 April 2027
Saturdays, 10:30 – 12:30
