Sunday Club - Selfie workshop
- Materials included
For children aged 7-12, this is a Kids Art Club like no other, where children get to work on easels and use the same high art quality materials as our adult courses. They are taught by experienced artist tutors and start to take their first steps as Young Artists.
Led by portrait artist Alice Ellis-Bray who recently exhibited at the Penwith Gallery, explore ideas behind the self-portrait. Alice will help you discover how you can represent yourself through colours, marks and symbols. She will then lead you through the process of making your own ‘zine’ on which you will develop your set of small paintings.
We are happy to continue offering limited FREE Scholarship places for those on low income. Please contact Cat Lee Youth Arts Manager for a Scholarship application form to apply [email protected].
What to Bring
Our studios are fully equipped and we provide you with all the art materials you need for your workshop so just bring yourself and lots of enthusiasm!
The class will be held in the ground floor studio at the School of Painting.
Timings & Breaks
The workshops start at 10am and finish at 12pm. We will have a comfort break in the middle and provide squash or water for the children.
Children will need to be aware of social distancing and sanitise regularly.

Alice Ellis Bray
” I don’t believe in mistakes when it comes to making art. I encourage finding a belief in each line made, or brush stroke painted, and exploring further into how different stages of creativity trigger different emotions.”
In her own practice Alice works with costume, painting, performance, and script to explore the infinite possibilities of identity and experience. Through learning the properties of nature and the nature of people, Alice seeks to portray an interconnectedness she has with all things.
