About Tiny Makers
Tiny Makers offers dynamic and engaging art workshops and kids parties for children aged 3-12. Our classes are designed and led by an experienced educator and art practitioner, focusing on fostering creativity, emotional management, and building confidence and self-esteem in young minds. With a special interest in working with neurodiverse kids, Tiny Makers has set out to create a fun and engaging space for kids to be themselves and explore their world around them through different art experiences.
Our Approach
At Tiny Makers, we believe in the power of art to nurture young minds. Our art studio is a space where children can explore various art forms, express themselves, and learn essential life skills. Through our carefully crafted classes, we aim to provide a nurturing environment where kids can flourish creatively while developing crucial emotional intelligence and coping strategies.
Tiny Makers runs art workshops with a curriculum that has been created to help kids be able to verbalise their emotions and, more importantly, use art as a strategy for helping them thrive. We aim to help kids explore their passion and encourage them to see what they are capable of.
Whilst we do love working with our neurodiverse community, Tiny Makers is an inclusive space and we welcome any child who wishes to join us.
At Tiny Makers, we’re passionate about education and art looking for methods to work together with parents to help children find tools to manage big emotions and advocate for themselves. We are committed to inspiring and guiding young artists on their creative journey. Each instructor brings a unique set of skills and passion for art and education, ensuring that every child receives personalised attention and encouragement.

Our Philosophy
At Tiny Makers our philosophy is built on the premise, "mistakes help us grow"
and this is demonstrated by our tree mural. Each time a child makes a mistake, they add a fingerprint to our tree to give them a visual representation of growth over time. It is our aim to build up children's confidence to believe that every mistake can become something really special and is an opportunity to learn and be creative.
