Peterborough Royalty online workshop (ages 16+)

This online workshop is part of Peterborough Royalty – a drawing project which gives people the chance to say thank you to someone who has made a difference – big or small – over the last 2 years.

Do you want to create your own artwork for the Peterborough Royalty project but are wondering where to start or need some tips? In this workshop artist Clare Turner (Paisley Arts) will share simple collage techniques and support you in creating your own ‘thank you’ artwork.

Clare’s workshop will use materials you might find around the home so gather together some spare magazines, newspapers, coloured paper, glue, scissors and colour pens / pencils.

Preparing for the workshop

Just bring along some thoughts on who you want to thank and why, and perhaps a photo of the person if you have one. The focus of the workshop will be creating alternative “portraits” as a thank you – but you don’t have to be ‘good at art’ to join in! Our artist Clare will show you some tips and tricks to make a good picture using simple materials.

If drawing people is not for you – you can make a piece inspired by any activities you’ve done with this person e.g a coffee cup, a delivery van, a shopping bag full of food… anything that captures this person and why they should be thanked is fine!

Zoom details will be emailed to you a few days before the workshop
