A unique opportunity to look closely at objects from the Natural History collection, whilst trying out fun, experimental drawing techniques.

Still life drawings depict objects that are ‘still’ and don’t move. Still life artwork often shows inanimate objects from the natural or man-made world, such as fruit, flowers, and vessels like baskets or bowls. This session will feature an object from our Natural History collection, not usually on display.

Drop in, suitable for all ages and abilities.

This workshop is free but donations are gratefully received.
