Workshop: Drawing Fantasy Characters with Hannah Kelly

Pictish symbols carved into rocks. Boats hewn from the trunks of trees. Amulets, crowns and gravestones. Come and use artefacts from our Scottish history to springboard ideas for a fantasy character or creature. I'll start us off with some silly drawing games, then give you prompts and skills to develop figures and stories from ancient objects. You'll sketch, draw and play throughout, finishing with a fantasy character of your own design.


Suitable for Adults, Teens. (12+)
All materials provided. Any skill level welcome!
