Guided Learning
Independent Creating
Online Art Studio
For young creatives ages 7-18.
Hello,
I'M JOELLA, ARTIST & ART EDUCATOR
Young Creatives Online is a welcoming online art studio for children and teens.
-------------
It exists to give young creatives the time, structure, and freedom they need to grow creatively, wherever they are.
Here, real foundation skills sit alongside imagination and independence. Learning is guided, but never rushed, with space for children to explore ideas, make mistakes, and build confidence in their own way of working.
Through high quality classes, a welcoming creative community, and a free monthly workshop, I support both children and parents, helping young creatives develop real skills, trust their ideas, and enjoy the process of making.
There are a few different ways to take part, depending on what suits your young creative best:
Helping To Grow Your Young Creative
Online art classes are a fantastic way for young creatives to connect, share ideas, and collaborate with others from across the UK and beyond!
I’m always happy to help or answer any questions. I'm also here for the amazing adults supporting young creatives, ensuring everyone feels inspired and excited about art!
Summer at YCO
Flexible online summer art sessions, sketchbook clubs, and short creative courses designed for young creatives aged 7-16.
How Online Works
Can teaching art online really work? Absolutely!
In my experience, online classes are both accessible and highly effective. Through live Zoom sessions, I bring high quality art lessons straight to you.
Whether you’re in a bustling city, a quiet village, or away from home. I know not everyone has easy access to local art classes or studios, but we all deserve the chance to deepen our creativity and skills in something we love.
During each live Zoom class, we’ll dive into various art techniques, materials, and ideas together, with other like minded creatives who share the same passion.
Creative Calm Club: Monthly
A FREE monthly online get together designed especially for children and teens to explore their creativity, have fun, and connect with other like minded young artists! This 1-hour workshop is a dedicated space for children and teens to destress, unwind, and nurture their amazing mind through art.
My Story
Why I Started Young Creatives Online
I know how important art can be to a child, because I was one of them.
I was always drawn to creating. Any chance to make something, draw, paint, or explore ideas, I took it.
As I got older, I realised how much children want to learn when they’re genuinely interested in something. They naturally want to try more, build skills, and find their own way of making art.
Looking back, I think I would have really loved a space where creativity was taken seriously, somewhere to properly learn, explore ideas, and build confidence in what I was creating.
That’s a big part of why I started Young Creatives Online, and it’s at the heart of how I teach today.
