Collaborative Draw and Explore Children's Workshop

Come and take inspiration from the exhibition to create an image which celebrates a month in the medieval calendar year. We will use text as a starting point to weave in aspects of nature and rural activity, highlighting the changes in each season by using a specific colour palette. This session will focus on developing drawing skills through observation and imagination.

This workshop is with the illustrators from the exhibition Illuminating the Year: medieval calendar lore re-imagined and is aimed at 8 to 11-year-olds.

Polly is an Illustrator and tutor who has led workshops for children for over 15 years. Previous visiting tutor at Camberwell College of Arts on the Illustration MA and on the MA Communication Design at UWE. Current tutor for BA Illustration and Foundation in Drawing at the OCA .

Louise is an illustrator gradually returning to painting after many years working primarily with pen and ink. Her work is deeply influenced by her rural upbringing in Hampshire, and her paintings often depict imaginative worlds where animals and natural elements are imbued with distinctly human traits.



Booking is essential as places are limited. If there is demand, a second workshop will run in the afternoon.
