Pure Evil Drawing Club with Charles Uzzell-Edwards

Discover street and graffiti art styles in a workshop for 6 – 12 year-olds led by Charles Uzzell-Edwards, a globally exhibited graffiti artist from London. Participants will have the opportunity to dwell on and discuss their spirit animals, before bringing them to life through creative drawings. Artwork will then be displayed as part of the Festival’s Art Trail.
