Exploring Drawing: Portraits with Jo Bressloff

Join Jo Bressloff with your family at this unique workshop. Based in the gallery in amongst the portraits, you will have the chance to work from a live portrait model using easels, boards and a range of materials. Most suitable for families with children aged 7yrs+, Jo will guide you through the process of portrait drawing in a fun and accessible way with lots of activities and short poses. Sessions are as follows:

This session is designed for adults and children to enjoy together and children will need to be accompanied by a participating adult.
