Battle of Ambleside: Archaeology Drawing Workshop with Meg Bowyer

Meg has worked in many museums and galleries in the North West, and has always been fascinated by the magical objects they contain. She has also admired the fantastic illustrations of people who discovered and investigated many of these finds.

In this archaeology themed workshop, we will be drawing from Roman artefacts kept in The Armitt’s collection, inspired by some of the illustrations currently on display. This is a beginner level workshop suitable for those who with little to no drawing experience, as well as those who has some drawing experience and fancy trying something new!
