National Saturday Club: Art and Design

The National Art & Design Saturday Club offer young people age 14-16 the opportunity to attend Saturday morning classes to study a range of aspects related to Art & Design.

The weekly sessions aim to explore multiple subjects within Art and Design using the specialist teaching facilities at Cardiff School of Art & Design, Cardiff Metropolitan University.  Example subject areas will include textiles, ceramics, and illustration; all based around the overall theme of the Human Body.

Participants will have the opportunity in November to visit a gallery or museum in London (venue to be confirmed); have their work exhibited in Somerset House in June, and there attend a masterclass from a leading UK based artist in the spring term.  In the last academic year we were very privileged to host a masterclass with Matt Jones, Creative Director of Google Creative Lab where participants looked at designing a ghost trap.

Please see the blog below written by the artist who delivered a session for the art and science Saturday club masterclasses, which discusses art merging with science:
