About the event
Join us for a creative drawing workshop led by artist and author Katherine Child. What messages can we send just using colour and what can we communicate? Explore the theme of colour through interactive drawing exercises.
This workshop is inspired by Katherine’s new book The Notted Island, a triumphant, fully illustrated middle-grade story of wonder, whimsy, and determination following Tisky on the adventure of a lifetime as she attempts to bring kindness, unity, and colour back to Last Island.
Please note:
- This event is exclusively for young people aged 9 to 13 and we cannot accommodate anyone outside this age group.
- Parents and guardians are welcome to accompany their children. They will however, in accordance with our safeguarding policy, not be part of the activity group.
