Winter is here & so too are the D2S Winter Workshops!

Out of the BLUE
In this Workshop we’ll step into the wonderful world of ink & watercolour techniques to see what comes at us out of the blue! A bird, a beast, a cloud, a feast, a snowflake or a shimmering lake … it’s all hiding in plain sight we just need to let it reveal itself. So, let’s go on a magical wintery drawing journey exploring watery pages to see what we can see in our seasonal seas and skies of blue.
Ages 5+
Monday 7th July 10:00 - 4:00 |

Stencils, Stamps & Stories
Draw along & watch your story unfold as we explore and experiment with Stencils & Stamps to tell a tale created from textures, marks & shapes. In this Workshop we’ll work our way through a range of drawing techniques to create the tonal samples and snippets that, through the day, we will collect and combine to take us on a visual voyage of the imagination.
Ages 5+

Wild Winter Woollies
Come to this Workshop and consider what Winter Woollies an array of Wild Animals might need to keep themselves warm. Beanies for Bats or Bandicoots, hats for Horses or Hairy Nose Wombats, scarves for skinks, gloves for goats, socks for sheep or of course mittens for kittens. In this Workshop we’ll wind our way through printing, drawing & collaging woolly creations to keep noses & toeses toasty. I can’t wait to see who wears what where, I’m sure in completely creative and wildly wonderful ways!
Ages 5+
Wednesday 9th July 10:00 - 4:00 |

Are You Game?
Drawing games are one of my favourite ways to pass time when winter weather stops me going outside. When I can’t stretch my legs but want to stretch my imagination I reach for my bags of cards. Based on the Drawing Game, Transmundane Tuesdays, created by Author & Illustrator Carson Ellis, I have created a collection of cards that when combined turn into fabulous, funny drawing prompts to help in the creation of characters, often in crazy situations or scenes, doing things that you would never have dreamed of. In this Workshop we will play the game and draw some original and extraordinary things, in different styles & different mediums, to create an assortment of ‘game’ cards worthy of any collection.
Ages 5+

Give Me Some Space!
In this Workshop you’re allowed to be Negative, in fact it is absolutely encouraged. Through some skills building exercises, using different drawing techniques, we’ll create a multilayered booklet of ways to draw shapes and silhouettes to construct some creative compositions. This Workshop will go a long way to help us understand how drawing Negatives can create Positives and improve our understanding of how Illusion can be used in Illustration.
This Workshop is specifically designed for older kids and is the perfect way to experiment with different types of drawing & drawing mediums.
Ages 10+
Friday 11th July 10:00 - 4:00
