Art Club at Avery Hill Youth Hub

Avery Hill Youth Hub hosted a great, FREE opportunity for young people who live in the local community every Thursday across 8 weeks.  Young people came from across the borough to take part in 8 different Art Hub workshops, offering diversionary and educational opportunities after school.

Over the 8-weeks, the young people learned how to create collage sketchbooks and speed portrait drawings, and much more.

Colour workshops – in this workshop, they explored mixing paints and collaging paints together.

Painting workshops – this involved creating lifestyle sketch books and making homemade paints with natural resources.

3D workshops – this allows our young people to build clay models using clay tools and finish them, decorating with paint.

Mono Printing workshops – this gave young people the opportunity to use early printing techniques, using printing tools to design logos and images, then print them off on paper with rollers.

Marble printing workshops – this showed young people how to use block printing ink and paper to create stylish designs.

Lino printing workshops – using roller screens to create colourful postcards.

Tie-Dye workshops – guided young people through the process of cold-dyeing clothing garments in colourful patterns.

And finally, we held a final workshop using pastels and photo cutouts to create posters to display at the course-ending exhibition of all the art over the past 8 weeks.
