Rebecca Ashdown has run innovative, inspiring and creative workshops as part of the Guardian Education Centre’s annual cartoon and art family day for the last eight years. The sessions are fun, hands-on and accessible to all ages. She is diligent, a great communicator and has a lovely rapport with children and adults. She also encourages those who might feel that being creative is not for them so they feel included and produce work of which they are proud.

Workshops

I run a variety of inclusive workshops all intended to educate, inspire and encourage creativity. Using drawing, mark-making, paint, print and collage my aim is always to boost confidence and enable everyone taking part to create something they can be proud of. Sessions range from one-off workshops to more in depth classes and courses for adults, children and young people in both large and small groups.

EVENTS

Other events include school visits, book readings and signings, drawing demos and a variety of bespoke workshops with a focus on art and the written word.

Venues have included Gloucester University, The Guardian Education Centre, Liberty's of London, The Royal Festival Hall, Barnes Children’s Literary Festival, Prema Arts Centre and the Museum in the Park in Stroud.
