Sketch Friday Online

Every week we will post an object or artwork from the Higgins collections which we hope will inspire you to create your own piece of art.

We would love it if you could share a photo of your work with us. No particular artistic skills required, any media that takes your fancy – it’s just for fun.

We look forward to seeing what you come up with and welcome suggestions for future themes.
