As part of our Saturday morning Minors Club we now also run CREATIVE WORKSHOPS
From our popular Claymation modeling workshops in partnership with Clayrazy, our MineCRAFT workshops with Bricks for Kidz, and workshops with Giga Training in filmmaking and animation, Strand Arts Centre provides an abundance of opportunity for young children to unleash their creativity! In addition to learning new skills, these workshops help to boost confidence, interact with others and learn about teamworking.
We also now run weekly creative workshops following our Saturday Minors Club screenings. Saturday workshops are £5 per child. Adults free.
