Art Class with a Twist (of Lemon etc.)

Food Revolution Day Class and Food Sampler Event for Children and Adults. Expect veg and fruit galore.

19th of May 2012. 3-4.30pm

Artist Kirsten McFarlane will be running an arty session for adults and children - drawing and splattering painterly images of a host of fruit and veg to raise funds on Jamie Oliver's Food Revolution Day/ the Jamie Oliver Foundation.

A led class where participants can learn drawing and perception skills, create a finished painting (maybe an abstract of a piece of interesting food), as well as explore the foods.

After building up an appetite staring at a host of veg, fruit and other foods the group can end the session sampling the still life, and take home completed art work.

Try out some foods you've maybe never seen or tried before.

The session is for all abilities and ages, children must be accompanied by an adult.

The session will be at my location as per usual classes.

To book the event:

• contact me to RSVP & pay on the day in person.

The inspiration for this event was Eddie Izzards post on twitter of this shocking video promoting Food Revolution Day! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=REaU5z0jgxk&feature=plcp&context=C42c6583VDvjVQa1PpcFO22UiFNzoW7_GDi9Z_e03ELFXXkInQXXE%3D

All net funds will go towards food education through Jamie's foundation in the UK. The fee is £12 plus any additional donations made on my or in person on the day.

If you can't attend, please consider making a donation on my Jamie Oliver Foundation Food Revolution fundraising page
