Unleash creativity and dive into fashion illustration with my immersive workshops, designed for ages 13+ and all skill levels! Running from 10 AM to 4 PM, these full-day sessions offer a relaxed, supportive environment where students can develop their unique style.
As a qualified teacher with QTS and an Enhanced DBS, I tailor each workshop to foster personal growth and artistic confidence. Breaks are scheduled to ensure a comfortable, productive day.
In these workshops, students will:
-
Enjoy Drawing: Embrace a relaxed approach to sketching and creating.
-
Explore Personal Style: Discover individual expression through guided exercises.
-
Consider Materials: Learn to enhance illustrations with repurposed collage materials and creative techniques.
In my workshops, students explore mark-making, pattern, figures, faces, fashion illustration, and large-scale collage.
I am based in London therefore I will need to be able to travel to your school, college, or university.
I will bring repurposed collage and drawing materials, though additional supplies from your organisation such as A4, A3, and large paper rolls are needed to ensure full access.
Throughout the workshop, I provide feedback and allow time for student questions. Photography and videos are encouraged, especially to capture the process and reveal of the large-scale fashion collages.
"Elyse’s teaching style is creative and hands-on and underpinned with theory. The students responded well to her teaching and produced some amazing work which they used to develop their own design handwriting"
