For schools

A weekly art club, run entirely in English

Weekly art workshops in English for schools and preschools in Warsaw.

A native-friendly instructor leads kids through painting, sculpture, architecture and illustration — entirely in English. No textbooks. Just creativity + real language immersion (CLIL method).

It's our own author programme — every theme, project and lesson plan is tailored to your school's age groups, schedule and goals, not a one-size-fits-all curriculum.

Preschoolers · ages 5–6

Art workshops for preschoolers in Warsaw

We work differently with the youngest children. Sessions are shorter, more hands-on and more sensory — and they always end with something a child can hold up and carry home.

Short, well-paced sessions

Around 30 minutes per group — as long as a preschooler can really stay with one project. With more children, we split the group into two turns.

Big formats, real materials

Cardboard, tissue paper, paint, clay and modelling dough. Children tear, shape and paint with big brushes — building the fine motor skills they'll need for writing.

English through doing

Simple instructions in English, repeated and shown with gestures: colours, shapes, animals. Children understand from context and quickly start answering back.

Every child finishes their own piece

No colour-in templates. We give a theme and materials, and every fox, fish or house turns out different.

Our programmes · 2026 / 2027

Three programmes — all entirely in English

English isn't a subject here — it's the language children use while they paint, sculpt and build things they're genuinely proud of. Choose from three programmes, each led entirely in English by a certified English-speaking instructor.

Around the World in Art

Children explore famous cities and landmarks through art — building New York's Chrysler Building, the Parthenon in Athens, London's Gherkin and a Tokyo koi pond. Ages 5–12.

Story Hub — Art Through Stories

Favourite picture books come to life — kids build, paint and narrate their own versions of Odd Dog Out, The Three Little Pigs and The Gruffalo, then invent stories of their own. Ages 5–12.

Design & Engineering

Little engineers design and build real structures — bridges, towers, famous landmarks and machines with moving parts — developing problem-solving and STEAM skills. Ages 7–12.

Ages 5–12 · groups of up to 10 · 60–75 min weekly (Sept–June) · 100% English · all materials included

Tailored to your curriculum

Give us the theme — we build the art class

Whatever your class is studying this term, we can build the session around it. You send us the theme; we design the art project, prepare the materials and bring everything with us.

It means the art club reinforces what's already happening in the classroom — in English — and children meet the same idea again from a completely different angle. Send a theme at the start of term, or change it as often as your topics do.

Ask about a programme
  • Ancient Greece

    Children shape and paint their own amphorae in black-figure style, build white Santorini houses from card, and construct a model of the Parthenon.

  • The Three Little Pigs

    After reading the story together, children build houses of straw, sticks and bricks — then huff and puff to test which one stands strongest.

  • How simple machines work

    Children engineer cardboard windmills that really turn, testing and adjusting the sails until they catch the air.

  • All three are sessions we have actually run — see them in our gallery. Works for a single lesson, a project week, or a whole term of linked sessions.

A creative, attractive club that gives kids something to look forward to after lessons end.

Real English learning through doing

Good to know

Questions schools usually ask

Everything you need to know before getting in touch.

Yes — we work with preschoolers from age 5 up, in both public and private preschools, mainly in Mokotów, Wilanów and Ursynów, but we're happy to discuss other areas too.

Yes — we travel to schools and preschools anywhere in Warsaw with all the materials and equipment we need.

100%. Every session is led entirely in English, using the CLIL method — children learn the language naturally through hands-on art projects.

In preschools we work with groups of up to about 15 children — a larger group is split into two shorter turns so every child gets attention. In the weekly club for older children, groups are up to 10.

No — we bring all the art materials and table covers, and leave the room tidy afterwards. All we need is tables and access to water.

Yes — we also run themed workshops at our studio in Wilanów (Priv, ul. Branickiego 21A/U2). The room fits up to 27 children, so a whole class can come together.
