Art and Craft Boxes for Everyone

Each box is packed full of creative projects, educational artist inspiration, and quality art materials!

Magical Music

£32

Both art and music allow the artist to express their feelings and experiences by using techniques such as harmony, balance, and repetition... In this art box we look at how a variety of artists old and new portray musical instruments and musicians; at how they interpret sound in visual form; at how they use colour and music in tandem in their work; and finally at how some artists even designed album covers for bands and musicians!
Beautiful Bugs

£29

Love them or hate them, creepy crawlies are everywhere! In these creative projects, inspired by artists old and new, we look at how to create a wall of recycled bugs, painted butterflies, snail drawings and shapes, spider collages, dragonfly bug jars, cricket patterns and finally moth wings you can wear.

Fantastic Flowers

£29

Artists have drawn (and been drawn to) flowers for centuries. In this art box we are inspired by them all to create a variety of our very own floral masterpieces: From naive flower still lives to abstract floral multi-media paintings; from sun-prints to vases filled with egg-cup bouquets; from petal collages to beautiful painted paper flower crowns!

Wild Woods

£32

The Wild Woods box looks at the majestic and magical beauty of our forests with art projects inspired by artists old and new. Learn all about trees, leaves and woodland creatures through art projects exploring collage, painting, multi-media and sculpture techniques. Extra activities also include a large multi-media painted forest, and going into the woods to design Land Art of your own!

Glorious Gifts

£32

A unique present tells the recipient that they are worthy of the time, patience and effort it has taken to create! This art box celebrates and encourages homemade gift-giving, by guiding you to create four different gorgeous gifts: a clay candle stick, a papier-mâché bowl, an embroidery hoop painted fabric hanging and a printed pencil case.

Creative colour art box for chidlren
Creative Colour

£29

In this box we look at colour in art and a few key styles that resonate: Fauvism with its strong colours and fierce brushwork; Colour Field painting characterised by large areas of colour; and the achromatic colours Black and White - when an artist has ready access to every possible hue, the absence of colourcan be all the more thought-provoking!

Witches and Wizards

£32

In this box we look at artists and art styles that were influenced by the mystical and the magical: make a spell-book and a magical wand; concoct fabulous potions; get sparkly with spiders’ webs; and make your own owls and dragons!

What a Wonderful World

£29

The arts of different continents, countries and regions can all teach us much about their particular people’s history, traditions and beliefs. In Africa we look at the tradition of kente cloths, and zellij tiles. In Asia we turn to the art of sumi-e and to the world-famous Taj Mahal. Finally, in South America we look at Guatemalan 'worry dolls' and at the brightly coloured textile art called molas.

Printing animals art project for children
Awesome Animals

£29

Animals, both real and imagined, have long been a favourite subject in art. Part of their beauty lies in their versatility as subjects: they are often used as symbols, but they can also be majestic creative muses in their own right. In this box we look at creatures big and small, from wild animals to farm animals, from bugs and butterflies to fish.

Lots of Love

£29

The types of love that we feel are almost as varied as the people who experience it, as is the art that explores the subject. From Greek mythology to Hindu motifs, cultures and artists around the world have used a range of symbols to represent love in art, and we look at a few of these in the art projects in this box- for example, the hug, the kiss, the heart and the dance!

Delicious Delights

£29

Create your very own tea party with colourful cardboard cakes, or deliver a fast-food take-away with a Plaster of Paris burger! This box is inspired by artists past and present who have used food in all its different forms as their muse! It is filled with creative ideas that will give you a taste of how food is used in art, from printing with apples to still life paintings and collaged fruit faces.

Fabulous Fabric

£32

In this box, we look at how a number of very different artists have worked with textiles, from printing and quilt-making, to batik and the creation of textile sculptures. We also glance at different dyeing processes, from the use of natural botanical dyes and the Japanese technique of shibori, to tie dye!

A Home-Made House

£29

In this craft box the creative projects all look at making your very own dolls’ house out of recycled materials and cardboard. Be inspired by some of the greatest architects, interior designers and furniture makers to build, paint and decorate your very own ‘Hand-made Home’ to play with!

Me myself and I

£34

This art box includes creative projects for Teens and pre-Teens to express themselves through art. It is packed full of projects exploring the theme of Identity, be that through our face (in portraiture), our body or our varied emotions.
