Fringe Beast Fun

Step into a unique arty experience brought to you by Strength Heroes, a Fringe World Weekly Winner (Children's Event, 2021)!

Forget fruit bowls—this is a still life with a wild side! This fast-paced, 60-minute workshop engages ages 6 to 12 (and friends/family over 12).

Participants get a rare chance to sketch a genuine taxidermy animal from the Museum of Natural History. This unique, non-fidgeting model is perfect for focused observation. Students learn easy techniques using charcoal and pastels to capture form and detail.

No art experience is needed! We subtly build resilience, encouraging all to "have a go," ensuring an unforgettable, hands-on creative experience.
