1:00-3:00
Age 7-14
Taught by Emma Prentice
In this two-hour, high-energy mini-workshop, we’ll focus on one of the most mesmerising features of dragon art, the eyes. Drawing inspiration from Toothless (the Night Fury) and the Light Fury in How to Train Your Dragon, we’ll explore how to capture their intense, emotive gazes on stones
Children will dive straight into the world of trained dragons by exploring the incredible detail of their eyes. We’ll begin with sketching, experimenting with different shapes of pupils and reflections, and seeing how a simple shift in colour can completely change the mood of a dragon’s gaze.
Once they’ve got to grips with the drawing, they’ll move on to acrylic paints, layering glazes and highlights to really bring those eyes to life with depth and shine. Each child will then choose their favourite design and transfer it onto a large, smooth pebble, carefully painting on the detail until their dragon’s eye looks ready to blink.
Every child will go home with a striking dragon-eye pebble that can be used as a desk weight, tucked into a plant pot, or placed proudly on display at home, ready to watch over their imagination.
Where will the workshops take place?
At the Beth Morris Workshops studio, The Dairy in the grounds of Insole Court, Cardiff. The children will create together around a large table.
My child is attending two workshops on the same day? Can they stay for the break in between?
Yes, if the age guidelines work out, they can sit in the workspace outside the studio, and in drier weather on the immediate paved /grassed area by the window. The tutor will be setting up for the next session so your child will need to be able to entertain themselves and chat with new friends. We cannot allow children to visit the cafe area if they are left in our care, so please supply a packed lunch.
Is there a discount for siblings?
Of course. If you are booking more than one child in the same household (siblings) onto a course please use the code WEAREFAMILY to take 10% off your overall in-person workshop booking. Please don’t use the code unless you are booking for siblings though. This is not a code for parents to book 2 friends on. It’s to support families with more than one child attending 😊
Do I have to adhere to the age guidelines when booking?
Yes please. I have years of teaching experience and I am the Mum of three, so I set the age limits for a reason. The tasks are age appropriate and the children / young people should all feel comfortable with their peers.
My child has additional learning needs - Is the workshop suitable?
We can not offer 1:1 support unfortunately, but if they can work semi-independently with 14 peers, they will love our fun inclusive and relaxed workshops. The tutor will make sure they understand the tasks and support them within the session. On booking, please email info@bethmorrisworkshops.co.uk with any extra information that will help us support your child so we can be fully prepared. You know your child best so please talk to us so we can help.
Does my child need to bring any materials or art supplies?
No, all materials are included in the price of the workshop, just don’t wear your best clothes!
