Kids art & craft Classes
Welcome to the Kids Art & Craft Classes page! Here, I offer a vibrant and nurturing environment for children aged 5 to 12 to explore their creativity under my guidance as a qualified art teacher. My classes are designed to ignite a passion for the arts and crafts in young minds and provide them with the tools and techniques they need to express themselves artistically.
My camps & Classes
Each session is packed with a variety of fun and engaging activities that cover a broad spectrum of artistic disciplines—from painting and drawing to ceramics, jewellery making, and collage creation. The curriculum is thoughtfully curated to ensure that it caters to both beginners and those with some experience, allowing every child to thrive at their own pace.
About Me
As a professional art teacher with extensive experience in children’s art education, I am dedicated to fostering artistic skills as well as promoting confidence, critical thinking, and fine motor skills. I am passionate about helping each child discover their unique creative voice, ensuring personalised attention and guidance.
Why Choose These Classes?
Welcoming Environment: My classes are suitable for all skill levels. Whether your child is picking up a brush for the first time or looking to expand their artistic skills, I provide a supportive and positive atmosphere.
Diverse Activities: I believe in the power of exposure to different forms of art. My diverse activities ensure that every child finds something they love, encouraging ongoing engagement and satisfaction.
Focus on Development: Beyond artistic skills, my classes help children develop patience, concentration, and problem-solving abilities—all in a fun and interactive setting.
I am a qualified art teacher who has over 15 years of experience teaching art to children of all ages. I am fully Garda vetted and a member of the Teaching Council of Ireland.

This Art Club is a creative space where teens and tweens can relax, connect, and explore their own artistic style. Each week, they’ll experiment with a mix of materials and techniques in a supportive setting.
The focus is on building skills, boosting creative confidence, and encouraging individual expression. We draw inspiration from a variety of sources, including contemporary and street art, so projects feel fresh, relevant, and engaging for this age group.
It’s a chance for young people to unwind after school, try new things, and create work they can feel proud of.

“My 8-year-old boy loves Declan’s after school art class.
The projects they work on are well thought out and age appropriate, so he really finds the work enjoyable and engaging. ”
