Drawing club for home educators, 5-11 year olds

About

Suitable for children aged 8 to 16.

Drawing is a superpower anyone can have! It focuses attention, settles our minds, connects us with what we study and enables us to see things as they really are, so come and learn, practice and hone your skills at the inaugural RAMM drawing club sessions this autumn. Focusing on the current Wild exhibition and especially designed for home-educated children, each of the five sessions will teach and develop drawing techniques as well as explore some wild subject matter, either on display or hands-on with some specimens or artefacts. Led by James Winrow, an experienced natural history artist and outdoor educator, the club will be a supportive, fun and welcoming environment suitable for complete beginners or experienced scribblers. Come prepared to be encouraged, challenged and delighted!

Accompanying adults welcome if needed to support children with SEND, but due to space constraints we’d encourage children to attend unaccompanied if possible. Please only book a ticket for the participant in their name – accompanying adults do not need to book at ticket.
