Art Club for Easter.
SWINDON-BASED Let’s Create art club continues its commitment to provide children and young people with artistic and creative opportunities this Easter with holiday art camp.
Let’s Create Art Club, founded in 2020, by artist and mum, Rachel Bray, allows children to explore:
- painting
- drawing
- sculpture and design
And all in a safe, fun, and pressure-free environment through after-school sessions, Saturday morning art clubs and holiday art camps. All aimed at children ranging from four to twelve.
‘Running Art Camp is one of my favourite things to do at Let’s Create. As an artist and mum, I know first-hand how powerful and important creativity can be for a child. For their confidence, resilience and well-being,’ explains Rachel.
Rachel, born and raised in Swindon, started Let’s Create Art Club after witnessing the after-school club industry dominated by sports clubs. And how art gets side-lined in busy family life and some parents avoiding the creative ‘mess’ at home.
Pressure valve
‘In the holidays, the pressure can mount for families across the county to provide engaging and creative experiences whilst minimising screen time. All whilst they are likely juggling work. That’s where our holiday art camps come in. To provide an outlet of creativity for those who need it.’
For the past few years, the Let’s Create Art Club has provided holiday art camps in West Swindon. Some parents have travelled from as far as Ramsbury for their children to access the classes and this year is going to be bigger than ever.
The Easter programme
Their Easter programme consists of:
- artist-led art activities
- games and outdoor play
- along with free creative time for children to explore their own imaginations and different mediums during the school holidays.
Children can follow their curiosity, try new things, work alone, as well as in a team, guided by an artist.
‘Our holiday art camps are a lot of fun and very special because they allow the children the time and freedom that creativity needs. Watching their confidence grow across the day or week is amazing. My goal has always been to create a space where children feel safe to express themselves and make friends. And leave feeling proud of themselves as much as what they’ve made.
Their Easter art camp will take place in West Swindon from 31st March – 10th April 2026.
‘Art Camp gives children the time, space and support to express themselves and explore ideas without any pressure on the outcome and make new friends,’ commented Rachel. ‘I’m privileged to be able to help children experience how to have fun with art and to create great childhood memories.’
Let’s Create Art Club is a member of the Institute of Children’s Activity Providers (ICAP). That ensures the club meets high standards for safety, inclusion and engagement. They celebrated being finalists at the ICAP Awards 2025, in their ‘Rising Star – Outstanding achievement in Growth and Visions for the Future’ category.
