One-to-one mentoring

We’re now offering bespoke and one-to-one mentoring sessions for young people . These sessions are designed around your specific requirements, and the needs of the individual at a place and time to suit you.

  • Watching and listening to you work with Emily has been a gift. You are teaching her! She is learning from you. I have never seen this in action before.

    Polly is an exceptional arts facilitator with a gift for engaging children with additional and even complex needs. She is amazing with my autistic daughter and has supported her in exploring new ways to be creative. My daughter is very anxious, but Polly’s calm, straightforward manner eases that anxiety quickly. I wholeheartedly recommend Polly for both 1:1 and group work.

Our one-to-one classes

For young people

These supportive one-to-one classes are proving particularly helpful for young people with high anxiety or special educational needs. Each session is tailored to the individual, and focuses on offering a safe space for self expression and art as therapy.

With a background in teaching, Polly can also support young people in building a portfolio for GCSE or A-level exams.

For families

With increasingly busy lives, our classes allow families to have fun and spend creative time together. We can offer sessions in everything from clay to print making, or mindful art to experimental drawing.

To date, we have run classes for families who are celebrating a special occasion, commemorating a loved one or simply looking for time to reconnect.
