Join local artist and tutor Grace Coombes for a wonderfully creative session exploring map making.

Taking inspiration from historical and artist maps, children will create unique fold up maps using pens, pencils and collage. Whether its imagined lands, tropical islands, buried treasure or fearsome sea monsters, the session will encourage children to create their own worlds and have fun drawing from their imagination.

During the 1 hour workshop children will explore mark making and how to create different terrains and landscapes using pens and pencils. Grace will be on hand to offer support and guidance throughout.
