Get ready to make a splash splatter in this fascinating art workshop inspired by Bloodsuckers: Nature's Vampires.
Led by scientific illustrator and paleo‑artist Celia Curtis, this playful sketching session encourages young artists to experiment with ink splatters, shapes and scientific drawing. Inspired by our Bloodsuckers exhibition, you will create your own bloodsucker artwork using splattered ink on card.
While the ink dries, enjoy a sneak‑peek visit to the Bloodsuckers exhibition, where you’ll see blood feeders such as leeches, ticks and mosquitoes up close. Back in the workshop, you will bring your splattered ink to life by drawing your chosen bloodsucker.
