Again with this! please do not advertise on my thread!

Hi Hutchy, Although I appreciate your message and its great to hear what you do, this thread is particularly to get thoughts from parents so I can set up my own workshops to cater for them. Your message is clearly an advertisement for your own art club, There is a very bold reminder from the moderators of the EDForum saying that you cant advertise in this discussion, I was very clear not to do that. Could you please remove your ad from my thread and put it in another discussion? Thank you Claire

Thank you both, Thats really helpful! I agree I'd have to make it drop off or parents stay, not both! Im hopefully going to get alot more feedback from parents and then I'l plan my sessions! Thanks again, Claire!

Hi Families, My name is Claire, I am an artist and educator. As you are a parent and I am not I would love to know your thoughts please? I am thinking of starting an art workshop every Saturday morning for children and parents. I have a venue in a school, resources and my skills (I am a multi-disiplinary artist, art technician and have worked on the education programme at the V&A for many years), I also know what I'd like to teach you; My initial thoughts on the content would be to chose an artist every week and for the families to do a piece of work in the style of that artist, so they?d learn about the artist and learn a new technique; printing, drawing, weaving etc, taking that piece of work home or we collaborate on a big piece together! Each Saturday session would be self contained, meaning you wouldn?t have had to come to the previous week to know whats going on, etc! ... but I'd love to know what you all want! How do you find current art clubs near you? Are there any? I couldn't really find much except on weekdays otherwise it means travelling into central London on a weekend, There is the Horniman and Dulwich Gallery I guess. I was thinking 9am-12pm every Saturday for 5-10year olds. How would you like to do it? Would you love to be with your child and you both make a piece of art together? Or would you rather drop them off, do some shopping and pop back to pick them up. Do you think 3 hours is too long? Not long enough? Obviously depending on my activity I can make it however long. Do you prefer clubs/workshops that are more educationally structured or a little freer? I have led workshops before that have been child/student only and others that have been parent and child, both are incredibly rewarding. Please let me know your thoughts! Thanks Claire (P.s this is not an advertisement, I just want to know your thoughts, when I get this up and running I shall post this in a different place) :)
