The Art&Design Club at The Northern School of Art Middlesbrough is an exciting and unique opportunity for 13–16-year-olds to experience a wide range of creative and exciting art and design disciplines such as drawing and painting, mixed media, textile design, ceramics, printmaking and graphic design within a specialist environment.

Club members will receive expert tuition and guidance from staff to develop a portfolio of work without the pressure of assessment. The Club encourages long term progression skills and also the opportunity to explore both creativity and individual potential within a supportive, friendly and relaxed atmosphere. Members come from lots of different schools and areas so there are opportunities to meet new people and make new friends with a shared interest.

Club members will also take part in national events including Masterclasses with leading industry professionals and the Summer Show, where all Club members exhibit their work in a public exhibition – all for free!
