2020: Our Year in Review
Boy, oh boy! What a year it’s been. Nearly everything has been shadowed by COVID-19! This just isn’t fair. Why let it steal the show? We should be taking this time to recognise our achievements and the positivity that occurred during 2020. What’s your top accomplishment from the last 12-months?
A Welcome Return to the National Saturday Club
Over the past ten years, 8,000 young people from across the UK have taken part in the National Saturday Club programme (including us, Chloe and Abigail of Buttercrumble). We were excited when the National Saturday Club invited us back to deliver a masterclass at the University of Leeds to further the creative ambitions of young people. Here’s an insight into our creative workshop!

York Fashion Week: Create a Look Book Workshop
We have a passion for fashion, and boy, did we share it at our latest workshop. We enabled local stylists, students and fashionistas to feel confident about style in collaboration with York Fashion Week and Fashion City York.
To celebrate the hotly anticipated fashion week, we invited guests to lovingly create their own look book to boost their creativity. Fashion can be a powerful self-reflection and we wanted to give people the power to express themselves through illustration and design.
Little Monsters Join The Little Bookshop
It was a ghoulish delight to collaborate with some little monsters at The Little Bookshop last month. To celebrate Halloween we hosted a spooky workshop where we helped local children to develop their drawing skills and create a portrait that captured their scary alter-ego on paper. It was so much fun to add an eerie twist to our drawings.
Our Portrait Workshop at The Gallery at Cafe 164
This week we hosted our first portrait illustration workshop at The Gallery at Cafe 164 in Leeds. It's a venue full of inspiration because of their regular art exhibitions. For us, it was the perfect place to host an illustration workshop!
During the workshop, we helped participants find their illustrative style and create a portrait that captures their personality on paper. We invited everyone to experiment with line and colour to explore the various ways you can draw facial features.
This new beginning motivates us to reinvent ourselves, exercise our strengths, and remedy our foibles. I find this especially true of our young generation climbing social ladders and (literally) growing out of their former selves!
