About this day nursery

Arty Party, established in Clapham in 1997, offers inspiring arts and crafts workshops primarily for children aged 5-11. The company began by hosting holiday workshops and quickly expanded to include birthday parties and school workshops.

Their ongoing commitment to education through creativity sees John, a glass artist with a BA Hons in 3D design, and Ian, a Fine Art graduate and longtime friend, leading engaging sessions. They leverage their artistic expertise to guide children in creating bespoke artwork, often drawing inspiration from contemporary and historical artists, as well as diverse global cultures.

Their approach focuses on developing essential skills like hand-eye coordination, observation, and visual memory, which are beneficial across various academic subjects. Arty Party also undertakes school mural projects, transforming dull playground spaces into vibrant, educational canvases.
