In this workshop we’ll take an in depth look at the head and how the features of the face are constructed, from the measurement tips and tricks to look out for through to identification of the planes and the direction of shading, which will help give your features true form.
You’ll learn through a series of step-by-step instructions, with the opportunity to try out everything you’ve learnt by creating your own portrait at the end of the class.

Step into the storm
Legend has it The Flying Dutchman is doomed to sail the ocean for all eternity. Only true and committed love can bring freedom. Once every seven years, the ship’s captain may set foot on land in search of it. Consumed by the sad tale, Senta is determined to be the woman to save the Dutchman. Will their chance meeting finally bring salvation, or tragedy?
Discover the legend for yourself in this new production by Annabel Arden, designed by Joanna Parker, with some of Wagner’s most bracing music to propel you through the storm.
In 1948 – the year of Love Life’s Broadway premiere – husband and wife Sam and Susan Cooper try to recall a time when their marriage was happy.
They reckon it was in 1790… The show then follows the ups and downs of the Coopers’ family life through 150 turbulent years of American history – during which they do not age – to paint the portrait of a marriage and of a nation.
Step into the mayhem
Bad baronet Sir Despard Murgatroyd has inherited a centuries-old curse – he must commit a crime a day or die in agony. That is, until the timid Robin Oakapple is revealed as his long-lost brother and the true inheritor of the curse. Blossoming romance will be dashed, and a chorus of ghosts will reappear when Robin’s feeble crimes don’t cut it with his ancestors. In this topsy-turvy world, is there a way to break the curse?
A family-friendly show for children aged 5-12 years old.
Can you help to stop a struggling theatre from closing? The final show is over and it’s time to lock up the building. But one by one, a whole range of operatic characters appear, on a mission to save the theatre. And they need your help!
