About Still Life Workshop: Orcas
Get inspired by one of the ocean's most striking animals; the orca.
In this hands-on art session led by marine ecologist Russell Arnot, explore an orca skull through a guided series of simple drawing prompts using a range of materials. Along the way, Russell will share surprising insights into orca anatomy, evolution and behaviour.
No prior art (or science!) experience required.
All materials are provided and the session is suitable for all ages and abilities.
