ABOUT

ARTXTRA is a vibrant and inspiring art club designed to ignite creativity in young artists while building technical confidence and self-expression.

Children explore a wide range of materials, techniques, and topics in a fun, supportive environment. Through hands-on projects, children develop not only artistic skills but also life skills such as memory, concentration, critical thinking, and overall wellbeing.

​

Projects are inspired by both historical and contemporary artists, giving students a broad understanding of art and culture. We set high standards, helping bridge the gap between school-level and college-level art education. With tailored support for students preparing for and taking GCSE Art or Textiles. Children are welcome from reception age to sixteen years.

​

Katrina works closely with local school art departments to support and enrich the curriculum fostering strong collaboration and continuity in student's creative development.

​

Katrina Atkinson, Artist & Teacher has run the ARTXTRA programme for the last ten years. In 2024 Denise Mawdsley teacher joined her to focus on the children's classes.

We also visit schools as visiting artists and create collaborative exciting projects with the children please ask if you would like more details.
