Children's Holiday Art Workshop- Stencil Magic

Stencil Magic – School Holiday Art Workshop (Ages 6–10)

Stencil Magic is a nurturing art workshop where children are invited to slow down, explore their creativity, and enjoy the process of making art in a supportive group setting. Through guided art-making, children will create a layered and textured artwork using paint, canvas, stencils, and imagination — learning new skills while being encouraged to trust their own ideas.

The experience supports confidence, decision-making, emotional expression, and social connection as children share space, materials, and creative moments with others. Each child is supported at their own pace, helping them feel capable, proud, and free to experiment without pressure.

By the end of the workshop, your child will walk away with a completed artwork, a sense of achievement, increased confidence, and positive memories of creating in a calm and encouraging environment.

What to bring:
• Clothes that can get messy
• Water bottle
• Light snack

All art materials are supplied, and no prior experience is needed.

By combining creative exploration with gentle reflective language, this workshop encourages children to connect with their emotions, imagination, and personal strengths—all while having fun and constructing a glowing artwork that celebrates their individuality.
