On 8th March Schools are allowed to return, therefore we will be continuing our home education workshops – Arty Farty: Sensory School after the 8th March.  The studio is aired with the windows and doors open.

Masks are not required to be worn in the studio, but if you would like to wear one, please do.  Our Arty Farty SmARTys may be wearing a mask depending on the workshop.

Surfaces and equipment will be disinfected in between each workshop.  There are multiple hand washing facilities and hand sanitiser always available.

On 12th April all children’s activities are allowed to start, therefore we will be starting all our children’s workshops and parties in the studio.

If all the children attending an Arty Farty: Party are in the same ‘bubble’ at school, then we will be able to accommodate more than 6 children.  We will still ask for children’s drop off and pick up to be from outside the venue from parents.

On 17th May adults are allowed to socialise indoors with a maximum of  others.  Therefore, our adult workshops and adults parties will start again from 17th May, with a maximum of  participants.
