Participants will explore a variety of materials, including graphite, pencil and pen, all while learning essential drawing methods such as line drawing, shading techniques (hatching, cross-hatching, and stipping), and the principles of composition.

The workshop emphasiseshands-on exercises, allowing participants to practice quick sketches, create shaded forms and develop small compositions that integrate learned techniques.

Under the careful guidance of artist Georgia, you will first learn the basics of using polymer clay before moving onto designing your miniature pet and finally moulding them from polymer clay. Feel free to come prepared with ideas and photographs or let inspiration strike during the workshop!

Whilst the miniature pets are baking, you will craft tiny trinket homes for them from fabric and a matchbox.

Come and spend a few hours in the jewellery workshop, where you will learn traditional jewellery making techniques, including forming and texturing metal and silver soldering.

You will practise first in copper and then go on to use silver sheet and wire to make your own pair of silver ear studs and silver hoops which you can take home with you.

Please bring an apron, or wear old clothes, and suitable footwear.
