Giant Hugh ready for Wrexham…
Year 1’s Salon Shampoo at Borras Park Infant School were ready and waiting to give Hugh a new hair do !
The children had been giving his styling a lot of thought…
and they also had something else on their minds…
After a fantastic morning of drawing Hugh looked fabulously festive !
I spent a wonderful feline morning at the Jewish Museum in London as part of the Pop Up Festival, with a workshop to coincide with their Judith Kerr Retrospective Exhibition.
My cat, Dr Calamari was given some very messy fur – Hugh Shampoo would have been very impressed !
The room was full of gorgeous cats …
It was amazing to see Judith Kerr’s original artwork for her Mog books and The Tiger Who Came To Tea.
In the summer I was lucky to work with composer John Webb and concert pianist Robin Green. We were brought together on a project funded by The Mid Wales Music Trust and The Wigmore Hall called A Musical Sketchbook.
We worked for five wonderful weeks, combining music and art workshops, with four schools in Mid Wales and two schools in Devon.
The children made up stories, wrote lyrics, composed music and illustrated their way through five workshops, culminating in inspiring performances. The project was enormous fun !
I had another really enjoyable and inspiring two day workshop, teaching Botanical Drawing to adults at Walworth Garden Farm.
I have been busy visiting schools with Hugh Shampoo too.
Temple Guiting School created the most fantastically messy hair for Hugh…
I visited The Orchard School as part of Pop Up Hackney 2015, where Mrs Tree was given some super new hairstyles !
I’m looking forward to some more Pop Up workshops in Wrexham next month…
At St Louis RC Primary School, Frome
After reading Freddie and the Fairy, we covered a tree in wonderful wishes…
Later, Mrs Tree got her own story and the fantastic yrs 5 and 6 illustrators came up with some amazing new looks for her !
I’ll be running my two day drawing course again at the wonderful Walworth Garden Farm in London on Monday 6th and Tuesday 7th October 10.30-3.30
If you came last year, and enjoyed the botanical drawing course, here’s another chance to indulge your drawing skills – or if you’re new to drawing plants, why not have a go…it’s FREE !
