Across the UK, there's a rising wave of enthusiasm for after-school activities. As traditional art education diminishes in schools, the value of creativity is gaining recognition. Artful Stars has always been in high demand, and we're excited to extend this opportunity to you!
Research conducted by the National Children’s Bureau highlights the significant impact of art on early childhood development. It enhances cognitive skills, social aptitude, emotional well-being, and academic performance by up to 20%. Parents are increasingly seeking avenues to nurture these benefits.
In a recent study by the Open Access Government, it was revealed that UK parents spend a staggering £28,000 on extracurricular activities over the years, translating to an average annual spend of £355 per child on equipment, kit, and lessons. The demand is clear, and Artful Stars is positioned to meet it.

The Artful Spark: Julie Walker's Story
The brainchild behind Artful Stars is Julie Walker, a passionate artist and qualified primary school teacher. Julie holds a BA in Art & Design from St. Martin's College in Lancaster, and her artistic talents were further honed during her teacher training.
This unique combination led her to become an art coordinator in the schools she taught at. In 2014, with her own children growing more independent, Julie envisioned a creative outlet for them and other youngsters.
This is how Artful Stars was born, starting with just 6 students around her dining room table! Fueled by her passion and the ever-present waiting list, Julie's program has flourished, offering a nurturing space for artistic exploration.
Julie has turned Artful Stars into a business that anyone can run, and you don’t need any art skills—just a passion for working with children!
