We are really excited to be joining forces with the National Saturday Club network to offer free art classes to 13–16-year-olds who live, work or study in Sudbury and the surrounding areas. From October 2025 – June 2026, we have a rich programme of workshops lined up, facilitated by a team of highly skilled and knowledgeable practitioners currently working and teaching in the creative industries.

As a Club member, you will attend weekly Saturday sessions that will take place between 10am – 12noon at Gainsborough’s House. These will offer a fantastic opportunity to develop new skills, gain confidence in your own ideas and meet lots of like-minded people your own age with creativity and experimentation at the core of everything you do.

Our tutors will work with you to support your creative development and your critical thinking through a wide range of practical and technical practices. Through the exploration of your ideas, you will be encouraged to be playful and to take risks but predominantly have fun with new materials and processes.

Club members will also take part in national events including a London based cultural visit, a Masterclasses with leading industry professionals and the National Saturday Club Summer Show, where all Club members exhibit a collaborative piece of work in a public exhibition – all for free!
