Join The Base’s resident portrait artist Ellie Kerr-Smiley in this Portrait Masterclass Workshop.

Within this laid-back one-off workshop, you will be given the tools to construct the composition of a portrait, mix skin tones and recreate a likeness. 

All materials necessary will be provided, including picture references to work from, however, participants are welcome to bring their own pictures and preferred materials if they so wish.

This workshop is linked to The Base's Master Crafter season, celebrating crafts and art on a large scale in the Gallery during National Craft Month!

Duration: 10am - 2pm

All tickets must be booked in advance

There is no need to print or collect a ticket as the team will have a record of those who have booked. Booking for workshops and courses close 24 hours before the start time.
