I’m so excited to share some wonderful news! This autumn and winter, I’ll be hosting a series of FREE online art workshops for children in collaboration with NI4Kids Magazine. These fun and creative workshops will be streamed through my YouTube Kids channel – The Snail Artist – and are the perfect way to keep little artists inspired and entertained at home.

Each class is designed to be simple, fun, and imaginative. Children will be guided step by step to create their own unique paintings, with plenty of room for creativity along the way. All you need to do is register for free through my website, and you’ll receive the private YouTube Kids link straight to your inbox before the class begins.

Here’s what’s coming up:

🎃 Pumpkin Snail – Halloween Special

Sunday 26th October 2025 at 2pm

To celebrate Halloween, we’ll be painting and drawing a spooky little Pumpkin Snail! This playful and slightly spooky character will get everyone in the Halloween spirit while giving children the chance to explore colour, texture, and creativity in a fun and relaxed way.

🎄 Christmas Winter Snail Tree – Festive Art Workshop

Sunday 21st December 2025 at 2pm

In this magical Christmas class, we’ll create a beautiful Winter Snail Tree, inspired by the Snail Sanctuary Tree featured in The Snail Artist book. I’ll guide the children step by step as we paint a festive winter tree and decorate it with some charming little snails – perfect for the holiday season!

💛 Family Snails – New Year Art Workshop

Sunday 18th January 2026 at 2pm

We’ll begin the New Year with a heartwarming project: Family Snails! Inspired by the Family Snail Portrait page in The Snail Artist book, children will be painting their very own family members as snails. This creative workshop is a wonderful way for kids to celebrate their families while exploring their imagination through art.
