Christmas Meteorite

Christmas Drawing 10+

Do you like drawing? Anyone that has been on my previous classes will know how much fun we have. We will use pencils, smudgers and rubbers to create a lovely drawing. The drawing is quite detailed and if by any chance we don't finish within the hour, I will provide my private link so you can finish the finer details after class. In order to suit all abilities, I will provide this link at the beginning of class also, so that the children who would like to work faster can do, but also be present with us all at the same time. Please be aware that the link will not have my voice on as I will be presenting the class in real time!
