Free art
& design
sessions
for Rotherham teenagers
Teenagers in Rotherham are
invited to take part in free weekly
art and design sessions at
Rotherham College as part of the
National Saturday Club.
This is a great opportunity for young people
aged between 13 and 16 to develop new skills,
make new friends, achieve a Bronze Art Award
and showcase their artwork in a national exhibition.
The National Saturday Club sessions take
place each Saturday morning between 9am
and 12pm. Members are taught by experienced
lecturers from Rotherham College’s art and design
department, experimenting with a range of artbased
activities such as printmaking, painting and
drawing, collage and mood-boarding, stop-motion
animation, and digital and traditional photography.
There is also the opportunity to take part in
national events throughout the year including
visits to leading cultural institutions, industry
masterclasses, and an exhibition in the summer of
all Club members’ work at London’s prestigious
Somerset House.
The National Saturday Club programme is free,
has no exams and allow learners to gain insight
into what it could be like to study a creative course
at Rotherham College once they leave school.
