EXHIBITION – Big Draw Illustrations

I'm very proud of the exhibition which has just gone up in Scarborough Art Gallery. This is a selection of work produced by the children in the Big Draw workshops I ran at the end of last year. The exhibition is on until 14th May, so if you are in the area pop in and see some of the lovely, inspired illustrations drawn by a mix of Year 2 - Year 6 primary school children.

WORKSHOP - ARTS AWARD, Clay Bust Workshop

A lovely couple of days running a clay bust workshop as part of the Battersea Arts Centre, Scratch Fund. This was in conjunction with Scarborough Museums Trust and Arts Award. The clay bust workshop was hugely popular and there were some amazing little characters created over the two days. I’ll be running another clay bust workshop later in the year at York Art Gallery for their ‘Day of Clay’.

     

        

WORKSHOPS - The Big Draw

I've spent the past month delivering The Big Draw sessions in local schools in Scarborough in conjunction with Scarborough Museums Trust. I've been too busy to take any photos but these lovely images have been posted on Seamer and Irton Primary Schools website. What a lovely school of children! I've also enjoyed running sessions in Braeburn, St. Martins, Hartford Vale, Newby & Scalby and Hinderwell.

WORKSHOP - Make It

Enjoyed making some little clay model heads today with the Saturday 'Make It' Art Club with Scarborough Museums Trust.... Here are a couple of them, they were made with air drying clay so they can take them home and paint them with some acrylic paint
