About this event
A workshop for children aged 7 - 12 with their grown ups.
Professional illustrator Bethan Laker will guide you in some fun, explorative drawing. The session is themed around what we love about holidays. You'll collage a summer-themed background and draw from themed objects, developing your own unique style. Using markers, collage and charcoals, you'll create sketches and a final artwork to take home. Your resulting artwork can be displayed as a lasting reminder of what you love about the season.
This is a workshop for children aged 7 - 12 with their grown ups. Adults may bring more than one child. You will take home one finished artwork per person.
Suitable for ages 7 - 12. Children must be accompanied.
