About

KidsArt Belsize Park is a dedicated children's art studio nestled in one of north London's most characterful neighbourhoods. The studio runs structured yet imaginative sessions for children aged roughly three to ten, guided by experienced art educators who know how to coax creativity out of even the shyest child. Classes rotate through a wide range of techniques — watercolour, acrylics, printmaking, sculpture, and collage — so children build a real toolkit of artistic skills over time rather than repeating the same project week after week.

The space itself feels intentionally creative: walls display past student work, shelves overflow with interesting materials, and every surface is covered to encourage fearless painting without parental anxiety about mess. Parents of toddlers will appreciate the calm atmosphere and the patience of the instructors, while older children benefit from gentle technical guidance that respects their own vision. Holiday workshops are available for families visiting Belsize Park during school breaks.

The neighbourhood is wonderfully walkable, with Hampstead Heath a short stroll away, making it easy to pair a class with outdoor time. Classes tend to fill up quickly, especially the popular Saturday morning slots, so booking ahead is strongly recommended. Whether your child has been drawing since they could hold a crayon or is picking up a paintbrush for the first time, the inclusive, low-pressure environment at KidsArt Belsize Park makes every session feel like a genuine creative adventure.

Pro Tips from Parents

  • Book Saturday morning spots at least two weeks ahead — they sell out fast

  • Check the holiday workshop schedule each term for themed multi-day intensives
