Founded in January 2022 as a small after-school club, we quickly saw the powerful impact creative spaces can have on children and our wider community. Today, we are a thriving creative hub for all ages.
We run sessions primarily from our Mobile Art Bus Studio at Buckland Park Lake, alongside regular workshops at local venues. Our programme includes children’s after-school clubs and holiday workshops, adult Paint & Sip evenings, drama sessions and LAMDA coaching, as well as bespoke arty parties.
We believe the arts play a vital role in wellbeing — boosting confidence, supporting emotional expression, reducing stress, and encouraging communication. At a time when access to arts education is increasingly limited, our mission is to nurture creativity, inspire confidence, and help individuals of all ages discover and develop their artistic potential.

Amanda trained at The London Academy of Dramatic Art (LAMDA), before working for 10 years in the acting industry. Amanda worked in film, television and the stage, including films such as 'An Education', 'One Day' and 'Monte Carlo', TV productions such as Casualty, Merlin, Doctors, Eastenders E20 and the west end show 'The browning version'.
In recent years Amanda has re-discovered her love for art and crafting and establishing Brockham Arts Club after-school club meant discovering first-hand how integral the creative arts are to children's development and wellbeing. As the club has grown and expanded, she strongly believes in the huge benefits and mindfulness creative art forms offer to us all.
