Lockdown, what just happened? What now?

Join artist Lawrence Dodgson in a week packed with different activities; drawing, painting, dancing, hat making, creative writing and sculpture.

We will be exploring what lockdown was, and what’s going on now, through various themes throughout the week. But mostly we will be getting creative and making a bunch of stuff!

Over the week we will draw beautiful self-portraits, learn how to draw a minion on a minion horse, make a coronavirus-hat and star in a music video, as well as much, much more.

The week will be hosted over Zoom from 10am - 4pm, but with lots of activities to do away from the computer to avoid Zoom-fatigue.

Suitable for ages 8+ years.
