Bring your imagination to life by creating your own unique characters with Jasmine Holt.
Explore different methods of creating stories and create an illustrated book cover or zine. Learn how design and art can be combined to tell an exciting visual story.
Through a series of fun drawing and making activities, we’ll explore how different shapes, colours, materials and expressions can help show a character’s personality. Whether your character is brave, mischievous, magical or mysterious, you’ll discover creative ways to give them their own special story.
A playful workshop for young artists who love drawing, inventing and imagining.
Date: 6 August, 13th August 2026

Summer Arts for Kids’ school holiday sessions are back
Join us for our artist-led creative programme for children, running throughout the school holidays.
Each week, a different Lead Artist introduces children to new art forms, materials and ways of thinking creatively, encouraging them to express themselves freely in a joyful and supportive environment. In these child-centred, hands-on workshops, participants are invited to explore, experiment and play.
Each session begins with a gentle start to help everyone settle in. Parents and guardians are welcome to stay for as long as needed to ensure their child feels safe and confident in the space.
Places are limited to 10 children per session, allowing for a supportive and engaging experience for every participant. We offer these workshops on a Sliding Scale basis to help ensure accessibility for all families.
If your child has any access needs you would like to discuss ahead of the sessions, please get in touch at visualarts@birnamarts.com. We are happy to work with you to make the experience as welcoming and inclusive as possible.
All of our workshops are offered using a sliding scale pricing framework, helping to make our sessions as accessible as possible. We invite you to choose the tier that best reflects your current circumstances.
Tier 1: £8
I have little disposable income.
Tier 2: £10

Tier 3: £12

Tier 4: £15
I have a comfortable amount of disposable income and am happy to pay a little extra to help enable others to access the arts.
