INKTOBER PASSED YOU BY?

Jake Parker’s month-long #INKTOBER challenge has become something of an Instagram phenomenon, with more people taking part than ever before.

If the whole thing has passed you by but you fancy a dabble, then join us for a fun-filled day of creative play and experience the joy of drawing with ink!

After a brief intro chat and look at basic ink techniques, we’ll work together to tackle a series of creative prompts and challenges: some short, some long - some solo and some collaborative.

  • INK-CASSO: Work collaboratively to create a large-scale scene in the style of Picasso’s Guernica

  • FACETIME: Draw 50 freaky faces in 15 minutes - one of our signature creative workouts given a spooky twist!

  • SELFIES: Draw a series of self-portraits in the style of some iconic ‘inkers’ - including Quentin Blake, Tim Burton and Renee Grau

  • PRET-A-PORTRAIT: Draw A6 portraits of all your fellow sketchmates, and then take a turn to pose while they draw you! (You’ll get to keep your portraits at the end too - bonus!)

By the end of the session you should feel more confident in your creativity, empowered by your output and be buzzing with the joy of social sketching!

Tickets £18 inc. all materials, soft drinks & snacks and a bottle of black ink to take home.

BYO lunch and remember to wear something old - just INK case you get a bit messy!

The Inktober workshop we ran last year sold out fast - so grab a ticket while ya can!

This event is part of the brilliant Big Draw Festival! Check their website to find out more and check out hundreds of other creative events in your area.
