Want to be an artist, but the best you can draw is a stick figure?

It’s been my experience that the strongest artists craft with their eye rather than their hand. So how does one see?

Over 4 weekly sessions, you’ll learn the 6 principles of composition—Scale, Emphasis, Space, Balance, Repetition, and Movement—to sharpen your visual awareness and understand the scaffolding behind every strong artwork. Along the way, you’ll also learn how to compose and draw simple figures, using stick figures as a tool to explore gesture, proportion, and placement within a scene.

No advanced drawing skills required—just your curiosity, your imagination, and a pencil.

1. Workshop Organisation

  • Pop’d acts as the promoter and ticketing platform for workshops run by independent artists. While we help coordinate the event, the workshops themselves are delivered by the artists listed in each event description.
  • Workshop details, including time, location, materials included (if any), and artist information, will be clearly provided on the event listing.

2. Participant Responsibilities

  • It is your responsibility to arrive on time and be prepared for the workshop, including bringing any materials if required (please check the workshop description to see if materials are required or if artist will provid)
  • Please read all event details carefully before booking.
  • Some workshops may involve materials or processes that can be messy—please dress accordingly.

3. Minimum Numbers and Cancellations

  • All workshops require a minimum number of bookings to proceed to cover the cost of room hire and to provide income for artist. If a workshop does not reach the required number of participants, Pop’d reserves the right to cancel the workshop and provide a full refund or credit (if preferred) to participant.
  • If an artist becomes unavailable due to illness or unforeseen circumstances, we will attempt to reschedule or offer a credit/refund as appropriate.

Refund Policy

We understand that sometimes plans change. Our refund policy is designed to be fair while also respecting the time and financial commitments of our artists and venue partners.
