ABOUT ME
About Me
Hi my name is Yvette, originally from North Berwick, I'm now a local to Dunbar. Creativity and self-expression are at the forefront of everything I do. My background in working with children, my Fine Art Degree from the University of the Arts London and my current training in Art Psychotherapy are what led me to invent this space for children to express themselves creatively.
Using the process of making as the focus (rather than the end product) comes from my experience in training to be an Art Psychotherapist. The importance is put on what we feel when we create. This makes The Art Den unique to Dunbar.
Whether your child is a budding artist or just looking for a fun and creative outlet, The Art Den is the perfect place for them to explore their creativity and express themselves.
Where are we?
Sessions are usually held in the After School Club room in the Bleachingfields Centre however I try to do outdoor sessions where possible and especially over the summer! I will always contact parents beforehand to let them know where we will be having the sessions if outside.
What Age range?
I offer sessions to age 4-6 years and have just opened up sessions to ages 7-9 years. I would like to eventually open up a third age range of 10-13 years.
What do you do?
Have a look at our gallery for a taste of what we get up to! I will also be teaming up with a Forest School Leader to combine art and nature over the summer! Watch this space for more info or follow my Facebook page for instant updates.
