Creative art experiences for curious young minds

Welcome to The Little Makers Club, a joyful, hands-on art club for children aged 5 to 11, created and led by Armagh artist and author Jonathan Hackett, writer and illustrator of In the Heart of Armagh: An Angel & Gargoyle Story.

Born out of a love for storytelling, creativity and working with children across the Country, The Little Makers Club gives young artists the space to explore, experiment and express themselves through art in all its colourful forms.

Whether it’s drawing, painting, sculpture, collage or creative storytelling, each session is designed to nurture imagination, boost confidence and let kids take pride in what they make all in a relaxed and supportive environment.
