Art Play & Explore! Paint, Clay and Print play (16 months- 5 years)

I attended Harriet’s 8 week experimental image making course for adults earlier this year and felt wonderfully inspired every week. I have felt detached from my creativity for a long time and Harriet’s course & guidance made me feel connected again and pushed me out of my comfort zone. Each week we experimented with different mediums & techniques which I wouldn’t have thought to have used if not for the course. It has given me a new insight on what it is to be creative and a renewed sense of my own creativity. As well as meeting some new people, Harriet’s course is almost therapeutic in it’s approach, I cannot recommend her courses enough for anyone who wants to re-engage their creativity, explore new techniques and most importantly have lots of fun!

We have attended two terms of Little Art playground classes as well as one of the workshops and they have never disappointed us. The class itself is free play where each child can let their imaginations run wild and explore two whole rooms plus the hallway set up with different materials and art mediums based on the theme of the week. Harriet has everything from your typical craft materials to real art supplies to things we have never even heard of and now regularly use at home. Every class begins with the "magic suitcase" which every child looks forward to. The class closes nicely with a story and each child gets a 'little artist' sticker. A special treat and a magical encounter with art from start to finish.

Each week Harriet has delighted my little boy and I with a new story, beginning with a journey into the magical suitcase and moving onto a series of creative, inventive activities designed to engage the littlest of artists and their grown-ups. Leo and I have particularly loved getting wet and messy in the sensory bin each week and playing with the shadow puppets in the light tent. I've also enjoyed discovering new stories I can share with my son, as well as revisiting some old favourites from my childhood. Harriet has provided us with a brilliant introduction to creative play.

Thank you for the fantastic birthday party! My 4 year old and all of us had amazing time at Little Art. Harriet is very talented and inspiring. Everyone explored individual art from while staying in the same theme. It was as if a magical journey they took together. I would totally recommend to anyone who loves creative experience - it's really a GIFT to children.

We had a truly unique birthday party at little art! Harriet organised an underwater theme party for my whale-crazy 7-year-old, giving him an experience that a regular birthday venue could never have offered. The kids were completely captivated by the stories and art activities, and loved shining their torches around the dark, underwater world they created to light up their artworks. Then off to the back room, where we'd set up our own cakes and snacks, to sing happy birthday! Thanks for a wonderful day and great memories Harriet!

Ich habe mit meiner dreijährigen Tochter little art besucht und bin wirklich hin und weg! Zu Beginn des Kurses gibt es eine kleine Geschichte, deren Inhalt sich thematisch in den folgenden Aktivitäten wiederfindet. Nach der Geschichte dürfen die Kleinen durch die eigens dafür angemietete Wohnung ziehen und nach Herzenslust Malen, mit Ton experimentieren und Basteln. Highlight ist immer wieder, wenn ein Raum angedunkelt wird und einzelne Elemente leuchten. Gegen Ende der Stunde wird gemeinsam aufgeräumt und eine Geschichte vorgelesen. Wirklich toll. Wir haben den englischsprachigen Kurs besucht, obwohl meine Tochter kein Wort Englisch spricht, was überhaupt kein Problem war, im Gegenteil. Bereits nach zwei Einheiten ist mir aufgefallen, dass meine Tochter zu Hause, den englischen Singsang nachahmt und einzelne Wörter aufgeschnappt hat. Klare Empfehlung, für alle, die mit ihren Kindern mal etwas völlig Neues ausprobieren wollen!!!
