Join us for one of our hands-on, interactive fashion illustration sessions and learn to replicate a famous gown fashion illustration in the style of Norman Hartnell created for Queen Elizabeth in the 1950s.
Working with a template design on black paper, you will be guided to confidentially use white ink pens and pencils to recreate an enchanting, amusing or atmospheric illustration in a retro style. No experience necessary. All materials provided
Each session will be 30 minutes long and take place at the following times on Saturday 30 May:
- 10:30 - 11:00;
