Future Creatives Art and Design Workshop for 11 to 17 Year Olds
Course description
Course overview
Future Creatives art and design workshops take place during school holidays, across different locations in the UK. You can select your preferred location and dates for booking at the bottom of this page. This course is a chance for your kids to get stuck in a multidisciplinary project, enabling the exploration of a wide range of art and design techniques and the creation of a portfolio of work.
No two courses are the same, with our expert teachers delivering new content and fresh concepts for every single class. Previous classes have covered everything from 3D design and drawing to portrait painting and mod roc sculpture, and there are plenty more unique sessions in the pipeline. Whatever the project, you can rest assured that your Future Creatives course will be wide-ranging, inspiring and dynamic, with learners free to experiment and create their own unique pieces of work - avoiding the dull cutting-and-sticking and inflexibility of many traditional arts and crafts clubs.
Alongside the hands-on learning, our teachers, who have been specially selected by the University for their industry experience and expertise, work to ensure the skills and learning are delivered in an enjoyable, creative and wellbeing-focused way. Future Creatives classes provide a supportive environment in which students can explore their creativity, develop their work and build their confidence, all while making new friends. At completion of the course, students will receive a certificate to recognise the skills and techniques they've tried out during the classes.

Caz Dowdall
Caz's passion for creative subjects has afforded her the opportunity to work with a range of materials in 2D and 3D art. After completing BTEC in Art and Design at Reading college she went on to study a BA in 3D Contemporary Crafts, working with Metal, Ceramics, and Glass. During her BA she worked with some of the country's leading glassblowers on work experience, gaining knowledge of the creative process of industry glassblowing. After deciding a career in glassblowing was not for her, she chose to take a journey into education.
Whilst studying a PGCE in Design and Technology, Caz also co-coordinated a life drawing class in Manchester. Here she learnt the benefits of community art classes; from learning from others to having a support network of people interested in the same creative endeavours. Caz has now returned to her creative roots as a teacher of a Mindful Art Class and Ceramics classes at Reading College. She is also studying a part-time MA in Psychology with the hope of integrating her passion for supporting mental health and well-being with the arts. Caz is also a practicing acrylic artist and spends much of her free time out in nature to inspire her landscapes.
