Art & Crafts Club | Age Group : 7 – 12

Welcome to the Art & Crafts Club at Jhoola Activity Centre, where we believe that art is not just a subject but a transformative journey. Our approach to art emphasizes the process rather than the outcome, allowing children to explore various art forms and discover their unique creative expression. Our club offers an exciting opportunity to delve into a wide range of mediums beyond traditional drawing and sketching, such as painting, mixed media, crafts, and more.
