Take this portal to return to childhood joy.
Looking for an art workshop that teaches you some fashion illustration skills, whilst helping you strengthen relationships and make new friends? Fancy something out of the ordinary to celebrate Mothers Day or for some Mother and Daughter bonding. Maybe even a gift for your mum or a fun evening with friends? Perhaps a workshop to celebrate a hen party if you’re looking for a group booking with something different? My workshop is great for people who love dressing up and working on their art skills, it doesn’t matter if you think you have no art skills at all. Looking for a workshop to lift your mood or self-esteem? Feeling low, depressed or menopausal and need something to make you laugh? It’s like sip and paint with added dressing up. Workshops are ideal for men too- come for date night or an extra special stag night. The perfect workshop if you’re neurodiverse, extravert or shy- there’s no pressure to take part. The idea is to have fun!

Dress Up and Draw!
Zoe Parker Illustration- that’s me- sitting on top of a pink suitcase. The suitcase is packed with clothes ready for the first Dress Up and Draw workshop with Art For Life. Clothes are taken from my own archives, and from my son’s Vinted haul.
The workshop is about learning the basics of fashion illustration and then drawing each other dressed up in the clothes provided.
This blog is all about what happened at my first workshop- did people dress up? Did they draw? What’s coming up next?
