In this workshop, designed specifically for Key Stage 1, we will use the work of Dukinfield born artist, Simeon Stafford, to explore the differences between the Victorian seaside and the more modern seaside experience, as depicted within Stafford’s whimsical art.

Beginning with an opportunity to handle and discuss items from the Victorian seaside’s heyday such as penny licks and Punch and Judy puppets, participants will then view the work of Simeon Stafford. As a group they will collectively create their own seaside figure drawing using oil pastels that will form a group collage piece to take back to school and display. The latter half of the workshop will focus on drawing some tricky seaside shapes such starfish, clams and shells to really enhance those early drawing skills.
