I run a weekly sketchbook club in our local school. I love to inspire young artists to trust in their own imagination. I began the club as I could see how my own children wanted to throw away their drawings and I hoped to show the importance of the journey - all the wonderful scribbles along the way that get us from one place to the next. The excitement of learning and growing in our own unique practice.

I love to visit Schools and work in the community. I enjoy tailoring my workshops according to the schools particular interests. If you would like to discuss a visit or have any questions I would love to hear from you.

Whole School Assembly - 1 hour 

An energetic and interactive session. Playing drawing games and developing characters.

I can tailor the session according to the technology available, the only requirement is a board/ flip chart for drawing.

£100 plus travel costs

Day of Workshops

Starting with a whole School Assembly 30-45 minutes

5 (1 hour) Workshops through the day.

Themes in all workshops;

Developing Characters, Storytelling and Imagination.

Through fun games the children gain confidence in mark making and drawing from their Imagination and create their own unique Illustrations.

My main goal is for the children to have a lot of fun and feel inspired to continue drawing....

A huge thank you to Sian for a brilliant day at our school. The children really enjoyed learning about her career and what inspired her to become an illustrator, as well as taking part in drawing games and asking some fantastic questions. Sian also worked with each class, developing their drawing skills and showing them how to create characters.

 A huge thank you for your wonderful workshop today.  The children absolutely loved your work with them, and I've also had lovely feedback from the staff who were accompanying them.  Thank you for giving them such a fabulous experience, yet again.
