Friday 19 June – Solstice Straw Workshop
In this workshop we will be collaborating with artist Lucy Hook-Child to make traditional straw crafts associated with Summer Solstice in folklore. Lucy has a BA (Hons) in 3D Design Crafts and is a member of Straw Craftsmen. She has been researching and working with straw since 2023 after discovering that Corn Dolly Making and Straw Work are on the Heritage Crafts Red List of Endangered Crafts.
This Lates workshop is one of many activities on offer as part of our Summer Solstice Festival weekend. Find out more and book tickets here.
Friday 10 July – Life Drawing: Stretch & Sketch
Celebrate the sun’s life-giving, energising qualities with a yoga-inspired life drawing workshop by POC-led 2B Or Not 2B Collective. In this clothed life drawing session hosted by Zehra Odunayo, experienced yoga practitioners will explore flowing poses, sun salutations, and more while you draw.
Friday 24 July – Life Drawing: First Woman on the Moon
In this session we will be working with drag performers Goo and Frankie Heartless who will take inspiration from “First Woman on the Moon”, a 1999 performance art film currently on display in The Sun and The Moon. Goo and Frankie Heartless will create their own interpretation of the performance and create outfits and props inspired by the original. The Saatchi Gallery Learning Team will then guide participants through drawing short poses.
Friday 21 August – Make-Your-Own Carnival Headdress
Join us for a vibrant, hands-on workshop where you’ll design and create your own carnival headdress fit for Notting Hill Carnival, guided by artist Blossom Concepts. Known for their bold designs, Blossom Concepts fuse rich colours, intricate craftsmanship, and botanical elements to create show-stopping costumes that embody creativity, cultural pride, and pure joy.
Friday 4 September – Tarot Card Crafting
Explore the history of tarot cards dating back to the oldest surviving set – the 15 decks of the Visconti-Sforza Tarot, painted in the mid-15th century – and then practise your printmaking techniques to design your own tarot deck. This session will be led by Marianna Zoumpliou, a linocut artist inspired by magic and folklore.
