Sketch & Spin – A Life Drawing Workshop with Mary Callaghan and Jake Fairbrother

  • Workshop

Get ready for an electrifying fusion of art, music and movement at Sketch & Spin! Designed for teens (ages 14–18), this dynamic life drawing event combines live performance, expressive poses and guided artistic exploration—all set to a high-energy DJ soundtrack.

Led by experienced artist and educator Mary Callaghan, participants will sharpen their observational drawing skills—perfect for secondary school art students and portfolio preparation. Taking centre stage, aerial dancer Jake Fairbrother will bring his gravity-defying movements to life, inspiring young artists with his breathtaking hoop and rope techniques.

No experience needed—just bring a sketchbook and an open mind!
