Workshop Summary: 

We love bringing our many art workshops to schools around the UK. We have a range of art workshops to choose from and can even plan a bespoke art workshop based on your school's topic or curriculum needs for that term. We can either work with one group of students or split the time into sessions with different groups. We can also come in over a few days if you would like us to work with the whole school (multiple booking discounts available). Alternatively, show your staff and governors just how creative you can be with a unique team building or INSET session!

We also do online live workshops that you can stream to your students!

Go Sketch teachers are art specialists, artists and are fully insured and DBS checked. All art resources are supplied by us. All you need to do is supply a work space (or a wifi connection!) and away we go!

Comic Strips:

This workshop is one of our most popular school workshops and will introduce you to the secrets of cartoonists! The pupils will create their own cartoon character with funny expressions and will then learn how to structure and create a funny comic strip with their very own character!

Comics / Graphic Novels:

Learn how to create a character and structure your story for a comic or graphic novel is this creative workshop. We will learn about all the different features of comics as well as different drawing styles. Great workshop for book week and arts week together!

Testimonials: 

"Our boys were raving about their comic strip workshops. They were so inspired and have been asking about you all week. Your sessions were well led, age- appropriate and highly enticing for the boys! The materials were varied, different to what we usually use and great for young children. You were flexible- which is amazing as well as very organised. The teachers and were thrilled with the experiences you gave the boys. Thank you again, I will definitely be recommending and using Go Sketch again in the future!"

—Jenna Webb, Wimbledon Common Preparatory School

"Everyone thoroughly enjoyed the GO SKETCH workshops. We didn't want the sessions to end. The children were mesmerised by Emma. You could definitely tell she used to be a teacher as she had great classroom management and the activity was pitched perfectly for the age and interest of the children. I loved the wide selection of high quality resources Emma brought with her for us to use. Emma was very dedicated and spent a lot of time preparing for each session. Thank you so much for travelling from Bristol to see us. Definitely would recommend GO SKETCH to other teachers for future art weeks."

—Laura Makepeace, Woodville Juniors, Derbyshire

"Emma has been to our school to run workshops during our art week for the past 3 years. The workshops are well run and the children thoroughly enjoy them. The workshops allow the children to be creative and develop their art skills. Thank you Emma for helping to make our arts week special."
