Join us for a fun and creative 4-week drawing workshop designed for young artists aged 8–12! Each week, participants will explore new techniques, materials, and subject matter, building their skills and confidence through hands-on drawing activities.

4 Nov - Week 1 – Drawing Basics: Still Life
Learn how to see like an artist! We'll focus on proportion, shape, and tone using pencils.

10 Nov - Week 2 – Natural Forms with Charcoal
Get messy and expressive! Kids will learn how to compose and draw from nature using bold, rich charcoal.

18 Nov- Week 3 – Personal Inspiration with Ink
Time to get creative! Young artists will choose subjects they love and explore different ways to use ink in their drawings.

25 Nov - Week 4 – Portraits in Your Favorite Medium
In our final week, kids will create a portrait using the medium they’ve enjoyed most — bringing together everything they’ve learned in a piece that’s uniquely theirs.
