About Meopham Mini Artists
Welcome to Meopham Mini Artists!
Meopham Mini Artists is a small, independent business, owned by myself, Catherine, since 2018. Its aim is to offer opportunities for children and adults of all ages to gain skills through art, crafts, and messy/sensory play. Classes are designed to allow children to experience art and materials, to be fun and engaging, and to build confidence in themselves as mini artists. I have also recently started teaching adult classes, which are also designed to be fun and accessible to all, whether you are a complete beginner or a veteran artist! All classes are based in Kent and run by myself.
Please see my website for more information. I provide the following services:
Art and Messy Playgroup (6 months to age 5)
Home Ed Art Club (ages 5 -10)
Home Ed Creative Learning Club (ages 5-10)
Adult Art Classes
Private Art Lessons

A bit about me!
I'm Catherine, mum of two, and part time teacher with over 25 years teaching experience, teaching mainly Art, and also other subjects. I have taught in secondary schools, primary schools, EYFS and SEN education. My qualifications are BA Hons: Fine Art, PGCE: Art and Design (secondary), and MA: Education. I regularly practice my own art at home, and create art with my own children (both primary school aged). I currently work part time in a SEN school, and on my days off I run Meopham Mini Artists. I am passionate about teaching art, and in particular the benefits of art, crafts and messy/sensory play for children's learning and development.
My Mission
My classes, workshops, lessons and private parties are Art based, but they are not just about Art. They are about play, learning, exploring, experimenting, creativity, imagination and social interaction. Most of all, they are about having fun! Art and play is at the centre of all of this.
Children in my classes are happy, curious and confident to explore, take risks and try something new! They create Art pieces they are proud of and grow in confidence and skills week on week. Parents and carers get quality time with their children, as well as the social aspect that comes with every meopham Mini Artists session! The free tea/coffee and biscuits definitely help!
Adults in my adult classes are given the skills and confidence to try new art forms, explore art and craft materials, get creative and have an enormous amount of fun! The satisfaction and pride that comes with taking home a fabulous piece of art they have created is second to none.
Terms and Conditions
Once paid, refunds or transfers cannot be given for illness, holidays, or any other reason. If you absolutely must cancel please contact me 24 hours or more before the start of the session, and depending on whether I can fill your space, I may be able to offer a refund or transfer.
As a parent/carer, you are wholly responsible for your child's safety whilst in the session. Please also be aware of the safety of others, and eat snacks at the side of the class rather than at the trays or tables, as some children have allergies to some ingredients. Please do not bring anything containing nuts to the class. Please be aware that the kitchen at which the tray contents are prepared contain all ingredients, and therefore cross contamination is always possible.
Please declare any allergies or other medical conditions, during the booking process.
Please dress your child in old clothes and bring a change of clothing. Meopham Mini Artists takes no responsibility for clothing which get stained, marked or damaged during a class.
