A fun workshop for children to connect creatively and celebrate diversity through portraiture.

Children will learn fun ways of drawing faces and how to capture each person’s unique features. We will guide you through painting one of our Bright Stars using pigments as we explore exciting art materials and classic painting techniques. Participants will also have a first-hand look into the illustration process of Bright Stars of Black British History.
