They create for both children and adults, but at the core of all their work are themes of hope, joy and kindness. Niall has performed all over the world, to audiences in packed theatres, empty libraries, confused bus groups, random passers by and to their dogs.

Draw and Tell Stories with Sol Golden Sato

In this fun and engaging workshop, children’s love of stories and drawing are combined to celebrate the child’s joy of imagination.

Artist Sol Golden Sato will creatively engage the children and parents to build a story world of pictures, words and sounds to create amazing stories.

16 June

Playful Plantlife Drawing Workshop with Johanna Tagada Hoffbeck

Join artist and The Gardening Drawing Club’s founder Johanna Tagada Hoffbeck for a soft drawing session focusing on movement and plants. Through playful repetition, pace and movements, the children and parents in this session will be invited to follow the lines they will draw using a variety of coloured pencils and feel the calming and confident feeling that emerges from such repetition. Plants freshly cut by the artist in the lush garden of Pitzhanger Manor & Gallery will be the subjects of the drawing.

She often uses poetry, sound and musical elements to contextualise her research enquiry across the media of moving image, collage and photography.
