Celebrating Our High Streets

3/18/2019

Over the weekend I had the opportunity to paint in my old hometown of Market Deeping as part of the Celebrating Our High Streets initiative. It was a blustery day, dangerously so, so we moved off the high street into an alley full of shops. My board was a little smaller than I was used to so I paced myself in order to fill the whole day with live art. Huge thanks to the organisers for stepping forward and pulling this together at the last minute and for everyone that stopped by to say hello.

As well as my live art there was also free poems being written by Charley Genever and Claire Currie and a stilt walker from Giggle Town Arts to keep the kids amused. Check them out.

Street art workshops with Korp are now ready to book.

Doodle Club

£8.00 - £10.00

The 1 hour Doodle Club sessions start with "art drills" where we grab a pen and practice patterns, line work and zentangles. You'll then learn to doodle something new before finishing with a little free time to practice what you've learnt.

Every week we have a different random theme for Doodle Club...

Kawaii Cards: Learn the Japanese art of Kawaii with cute cartoon style characters that are really easy to draw and have endless combinations of body shapes and faces.
Artist Insight: Learn about the featured doodle artists like Jon Burgerman, Hattie Stewart, Mr Doodle and Tessa Shearer and practice how to draw like them.
Marker Masterclass: Learn the pros and cons of a different marker every month and get an opportunity to use pens that you wouldn't normally have in your case.
Skulls and Monsters: As an antidote for the cute Japanese art we do in week 1 in this session we can get dark and draw all the gruesome stuff.
Go Big or Go Home: In this session we focus on scaling up and end up drawing big on the boards, walls, unicorn and sometimes a car.

PLEASE NOTE: Wednesday morning Doodle Club is a quiet session limited to just 3 students and is specifically designed for children under 13 who would benefit from a less rowdy session.

All materials provided for free from the community pool but you can purchase brand new equipment to keep for yourself below.

Suitable for mixed age groups from 8+ (contact me if you have an under 8)

Be prepared it will get messy because thats how we draw in Studio 4.

Art Party

£136.00

Book a 2 hour street art party in an authentic art studio. Suitable for ages 8+ and using big marker pens on big walls and spray paints and stencils to really explore your creative side.

Session details.

The session will start with "art drills" a gentle warm up exercise using Sharpie and Posca markers followed by a Kawaii masterclass where you will learn how to draw in this Japanese style. Towards the end of the first hour we scale up and draw on giant sheets of card, the walls and even, on special occasions, a unicorn.

We then take a 20-30 minute break for food before moving into the last half hour. While the rest of the party continues drawing on the walls small groups will be taken to one side to use the spray paint and pre cut stencils to create their own Banksy style artwork.

You also get a free print from Korp for the birthday girl/boy and colouring in sheets for the rest of the party.

The workshop will be lead by Peterborough based street artist Korp who regularly paints at live arts festivals and has had several exhibitions in the UK and abroad.
