Hi there! My name is Emma Shannon and I have loved art from a very young age. I qualified as a primary teacher in 2006 and soon discovered that, due to timetable restraints, there was not enough time dedicated to the arts at school. I was often seeing children with low confidence being taken out of a rare art lesson to do more maths and English.

I believe that we should value art as a subject more as being creative makes us feel good, increases our self confidence and helps us think in different ways.

As an artist and a teacher, it was the logical choice to bring my two passions together to create Go Sketch Club!

I believe in teaching children that there is no such thing as 'good art' and 'bad art', only art we like and don't like. Everyone likes different art! We celebrate 'mistakes' as 'opportunities' within the creative process.

Go Sketch Club aims to develop young artists into self confident, imaginative and creative thinking adults of tomorrow. What can we offer?

Arty Parties
If your child loves to draw, paint and create, we have a wide variety of fun art-based birthday parties to suit your artistic child! We even do adult parties if you feel like a unique and calm creative gathering. We can even tailor-make a fun and unique art birthday party for you and your child! All you need to do is have an idea for the theme, supply a work space and away we go! We can travel to a venue you have hired out or we can come to your home.

For example we can do a workshop on cartooning, comic strips, kawaii cartoons, manga/anime faces, zendoodle animals, watercolour painting (any topic), painting masterpiece with a canvas each, clay sculpture and we can even tailor make a party to fit your theme. We are based in Taunton so but love to travel so do get in touch.
