Easter Art Club for 8-15s

Details

Lose yourself in 4 days of humungous noses, expressive dog tails and surreal storytelling. Let your imagination run riot and add humour to your drawing while improving your skills and building confidence. Try different materials and techniques and learn from masters while collecting inspiration both in and out of the studio, from your head and from life. By the end of the week you’ll have mastered how to draw your favourite comic characters, created your own set of illustrated personas, made a 3D model and designed a collaborative illustrated storybook.
