Draw and Explore Sketchbook Adventures for Families in Swansea

Looking for a fantastic family activity this August and September? Join an incredible artistic journey through the heart of Swansea. On every Thursday and Saturday these FREE drop-in Draw and Explore art workshops are tailored for families, and designed to bring the joy of creativity and exploration to people of all ages.
Adventure Awaits!
Get ready to embark on an artistic adventure like no other. Meet everyone at the Elysium Gallery, where friendly artists will lead you and your kids on a short walk to discover the beauty and wonders of Swansea’s vibrant cityscape. The locations that will be explored are adaptable to the group’s mobility and the weather, ensuring a safe and enjoyable experience for everyone.
Unleash Your Creativity
At each session, the talented artists will introduce you to various drawing approaches and materials. From abstract to figurative, from 2D to 3D, there’s something exciting for everyone. You’ll receive a sketchbook to capture the magic of Swansea City, with each workshop focusing on different places and themes. The sessions are designed to be relaxed and friendly, encouraging lively discussions, creative idea development, and a deeper understanding of Swansea’s rich history and culture.
Family-Friendly Fun
We think the power of art brings families together. Children must be accompanied by an adult, creating a fantastic bonding experience for everyone. The artists will be on hand to provide guidance and support, ensuring you get the most out of your exploration of art materials and techniques.
What your Family will get from these Free Workshops:
- Creativity: Experiment with various art materials and approaches.
- Discovery: Explore Swansea’s landmarks, museums, galleries, and more.
- Bonding: Connect as a family through shared artistic experiences.
- Education: Learn about local history and culture in an engaging way.
These sessions are structured, but there’s still plenty of room for self-expression and imagination. This is an incredible opportunity to create lasting memories while exploring the beauty of Swansea with your loved ones.
A bit of heads up due to popular demand, spaces may be limited at times, so it’s a good idea to arrive early to secure your spot.
