During the covid pandemic and national lockdowns it has been an incredibly difficult time and we are here to help you bring your community back together safely. We are following government guidelines and are happy to follow any individual policies and guidelines from your organisation in relation to Covid-19.
Offering a wide range of courses and workshops, Arts Clubhouse also offers the opportunity to take the results of the workshops and develop into a tangible, professionally produced outcome, and whether that is a book, a mural or an exhibition, all participants and the wider community can enjoy the work for many years after.
Creativity, wellbeing and community are at the heart of everything we do at Arts Clubhouse. Our friendly and fully inclusive programme improves creative skills, health and wellbeing, creative thinking and reflection.

Wall Art can tranform any space, either interior or exterior. Projects suit all community groups and businesses to unite, inspire and empower.
Murals are developed to suit the needs of any group and budget. Workshops are developed with the specific intention to collate and develop the images into a fantastic pIece of wall art either indoor or outdoors.
The subject for these workshops is specifically tailored to the setting and Arts Clubhouse professionally produces the larger than life wall art from the outcome of the workshops.
Arts Clubhouse offers differing production methods to meet all needs and budgets
Share your mural and wall art ideas with me and we can work out how to make them a reality.
MURAL | Garden Mural Project | Notting Hill Housing Trust - Elgin Close Community Centre
Participants write their own narrative on any chosen subject. This can be fictional exploration or a factual reinforcement of subjects from the curriculum to consolidate learning.
Based on the narrative, Arts Clubhouse designs exciting and inclusive workshops to ensure every child has work represented in the final book.
Arts Clubhouse, takes the workshop outcomes for development and creates the final book design.
The book is professionally printed with the option to publish if required. This is exciting part of the project when children share the book with their friends, family and wider community, boosting confidence with a memory and a book to treasure for years to come.

Inclusion
Through collaboration, we ensure all participants are fully immersed in the activity, to develop a true sense of belonging within the group. During larger projects, sharing work publicly develops a further sense of belonging to the wider community.
Confidence
We delight in seeing the joy shared by participants, and the increased self-esteem, workshops can inspire. We help participants to be confident through experimentation and complete ownership of the work throughout.
By facilitating the development of larger collaborative final outcomes, and authentically representing the work publicly, is incredibly empowering for all project participants.
Wellbeing
By creating a welcoming and fun environment through workshops and projects, this has the effect of reducing negative emotions and increasing positive emotions.
Reducing stress and anxiety
It is generally accepted that creating art can be very therapeutic. Making all activities engaging and absorbing allows the participants the opportunity to focus creatively and rest the mind. Where people have previously been distracted or agitated by their condition or illness, we can see first-hand, the soothing effect creative engagement can have.
Reinforcing a growth mindset
All workshops and projects encourage critical thinking and problem solving. Through reflection, we encourage continuous self-development.
Taking Risks
A fear of failure or criticism can become increasingly inhibitive, so we encourage participants to 'go for it' and see what happens. It's sometimes something unexpected...but always something good!
Supporting education
In a changing educational landscape it can be hard for schools to strike a balance whilst meeting EBACC and STEM priorities. All school projects are managed by Arts Clubhouse to support schools in delivering balanced, cross-curricular activities.
Collaboration
Workshops and projects offer a great team building opportunity. Participants are given the tools and the language to support each other in their creative pursuits
"You can use their expertise and they can see things that in a way that you may not be able to… working in a school environment, I think it is good to bring in fresh ideas and fresh people to take you on a journey which you may not have been able to do on your own, and that’s exactly what Arts Clubhouse did and we are so happy to have been part of this project."
"I would absolutely recommend this project to community groups… I think it brings people together...”
"We worked fantastically well as a team. I felt that Arts Clubhouse understood exactly what we wanted and that Arts Clubhouse and Jane listened to our ideas and then worked with them in the fantastic way that we needed her expertise to do."
"I think the outcome of the project has been realised and more…. It’s exactly what we wanted."
"This was a fantastic project. The children engaged beautifully they were buzzing. They loved working with all the different media. It was something that they hadn’t had a chance to experience before, actually being part of a published book…"
