About this event

Suitable for adults and children over nine

This is a beginner level workshop aimed at breaking down what goes into creating a character. We will be looking at anatomy, character expressions, clothes and accessories that make the character feel unique and stand out! There will be interactive tasks at each stage!

By the end of the session participants will know what to think about when creating a character and be able to apply the process to their own creative projects. They will also have a character drawn ready to show friends and family.
