Arty Party started in Clapham in 1997 with Holiday workshops. Birthday parties soon followed, then workshops in schools. John has been heading out to schools almost every week of term-time since then, sometimes returning year after year!
John trained as a glass artist and has a BA honours degree in 3D design, he travelled extensively making glass artwork in studios throughout America and Europe. Ian Studied with John and has a BA honours degree in Fine Art, they’ve been friends for years! Together they have the knack of making bespoke artwork with the children in a fun and engaging manner – you will be amazed by what can be achieved!
We provide a range of highly engaging and educational workshops in schools including Afterschool Classes, Murals – could your school benefit from giving a gloomy grey playground a makeover?, and School Workshops. Being Creative is a vital part of children’s education. Teaching them to draw develops hand to eye coordination, observation skills and increases their visual memory; skills that will benefit other subjects and last a lifetime. All of our work is well referenced with both contemporary and historical artists as well as using ideas, references and resources from different cultures around the world.
