11.30am Workshop: BOOK HERE
Join artist Vivienne Roche for a fun drawing workshop for grandparents and grandchildren aged 6-9 in Vivienne’s exhibition Abridged at the RHA. Inspired by a drawing of Vivienne by her granddaughter on a post-it note, grandchildren will be invited to draw a post-it sized portrait of their grandparent.
Last year, my granddaughter Hannah, then aged 7 and who loves being in my studio, did an astute drawing of me on a post-it as I was myself drawing. It is now my portrait in the Abridged catalogue. This gave me the idea for a post-it portrait workshop during the exhibition to see how other grandchildren might see and draw a grandparent.
