Get your teens away from their screens this Summer!

We're delighted to announce that following the success of our half-term Youth Art Camp in June, we'll be adding further dates this summer to get your teens out and about getting creative at the gorgeous Surrey Hills Yurts site in Dorking.  

Join us on the 10th, 11th, 16th and 17th August for our Youth Camp afternoons for 11-16's. More info here. 

Calm, creative and innovative workshops for 11-16's with fresh air, fun and creativity at the core.

Having held the post of Head of Art at her school and as an experienced teacher, Ellie is very experienced with working with young people, and loves to encourage their creative process.

Our youth workshops were borne out of this, with her wanting to bring a fluidity and hands on approach that you can’t really experience in a school environment. Following extensive planning, Ellie ran her first SAS Youth Workshops in May half term, and the feedback was absolutely fantastic:

" He loved it yesterday Ellie, his photos were fab & his plaster leaf is already up on the mantelpiece! Thanks SO much ☺️ Here is his beautiful leaf ~  G. Mellors 

Thanks Ellie , Ben had a great afternoon. ~ A.West

Thank you Ellie! Julian loved it! ~ M.Montford

The summer holiday workshops on 9th, 10th, 16th and 17th August 2017 promise to bring even more creativity, with a wide range of activities planned from printmaking, yarn bombing, sun-print photography and sculpture.

As at the last sessions, there will be a fire pit and light refreshments. Ellie’s approach encourages confidence and skill, and she is looking forward to getting back to the wonderful environment at Surrey Hills Yurts in order to focus on mindful making in this incredible setting.

You can book online for one or for all sessions. Double up Discount available on 2 day Art Pass with further discounts for booking for all 4 days. All materials are included in the price of the workshop as are light refreshments. Workshop leaders are all experienced artist teachers and are all fully CRB checked. Sessions run from 1:00 - 3:30 pm. Book here.

Dorking Advertiser

Surrey Art School is featured in this week's Dorking Advertiser. 

Although we are delighted by the local promotion we'd just like to stress that Surrey Art School was founded to extend what schools are able to offer in terms of Art Education.  It is restrictions such as the Ebacc that are wholly out of schools' control and that have been pushed by the government, that are having such a negative impact on creative subjects. 

Having taught in schools for the last 8 years, I couldn't have more respect for teachers and schools and the wonderful, relentless and rewarding work they take every day to ensure our young people have a bright creative future!
