Meet Your Teacher
Sarah-Jayne's passion has always been the arts. Her main qualifications are in Fine Art painting and in Art Therapy (Qualified and accredited member of the Irish Association of Creative Art Therapists) with many other qualifications in such diverse fields as group facilitation, genealogy, welding and drama to ceramics and pottery. She worked in art and drama education and facilitation in the adult and disability sectors before becoming an art therapist.
Doodlebox is run by a qualified, experienced and practicing art therapist. The gentleness of this approach combined with years of teaching experience provides a unique learning environment for all the children who attend.
What makes Doodlebox Different
Each year all Doodlebox students participate in an annual exhibition.
The Kildare students exhibition is held in Maynooth Local Library in December,
The Dublin students exhibition is held during May in the café space in RUA RED, South Dublin Arts Centre.
Children show a wide variety of works each year, using many different media and materials.

Each term, every student receives a Doodle Bag.
The Doodle Bag contains a sketch pad, pencil case with pencil, brush, permanent markers for the older students, also an art t-shirt. Other materials are added as necessary.
Over the course of their time in Doodle Box the children will build up a good selection of quality tools that they can use at home after the term has finished.
