Drawing Workshop at Portmeirion

Allow visual storyteller, Ruth Koffer to support you to draw around Portmeirion. Ruth will offer exercises and suggestions for freeing up confidence and working with your inner critic. Focus will be on developing freedom of expression over accuracy of drawings. Suitable for all artistic abilities and all age groups. Children and teens welcome if accompanied by an adult.

Seran Dolma, the experiences curator from Plas Brondanw will meet you near the leafy tunnel from the main car park at Portmeirion at 9:45am to introduce you to Ruth. Please bring A4 hard back sketchbooks. The drawing medium for this workshop will be Posca pens. We will provide some of these, but if you are able to bring your own, so much the better. You will need 3 colours minimum, your choice regarding colours. The best size Posca nib to choose is PC-5M. Also bring a cushion or kneeling pad to sit on at diferent locations. Please wear flat shoes, and a peaked hat is useful for deflecting the light. You need to be feeling well on the day as it can be tiring drawing outside. If the wether is wet, there is space to shelter under the Bristol Colonnade and other places, and there will be time for an indoor coffee break in the middle.
