Event description

Get creative and draw portraits of yourself and your family at our Portrait Station beside Ian Macdonald: Fixing Time.

Take inspiration from Ian’s dramatic portrait photographs of industrial workers and school children from the 1970s and 80s. Dress up in different outfits from the decades and pose for a selfie, then draw your own portrait using background, pose, expression, clothes and objects to tell a story.

Add your artworks to our Portrait Station display for other visitors to enjoy!
