BAMM’s summer school holiday program kicked off on Monday, and will run until Wednesday this week.
Each workshop has seen up to 20 children aged six to 14 participate in a variey of exciting art activities.
The participants created sculptures on Monday, got messy printmaking on Tuesday and will try their hand at painting on Wednesday.
BAMM education officer Anna Jackman has created three different activities for children to complete during each three-hour workshop session, following a theme throughout the day.

“We start off simple and then develop the skill,” she said.
“For example, on Monday we started during paper sculptures, then moved to cardboard and then created sculptures using air-dried clay.”
During Tuesday's printmaking workshop, participants first created a simple print using ziplock bags. They then created prints using a string dipped in paint, before moving on to screen printing on calico bags.
Some children have signed up for all three workshops, while others only participated in one or two, but Ms Jackman said everyone’s enjoyed it so far.
“It’s been really fun … hectic fun,” BAMM education officer Anna Jackman said.
