✴Morbid Merriments✴ is a multidisciplinary artist and storyteller specialising in all things strange and surreal. From puppetry to performance art, she works in the realms of ritual and rebirth to embrace what can be; revelling in uncanny chaos through both utter absurdity and gentle playfulness. For the session the artist will be modelling in two different outfits and a collection of her incredible creations made with natural materials from bone, and wood, to lichen, fungi, mosses & various found fabrics.

This is an untutored and low pressure session where we engage with creativity. Everyone is welcome, regardless of experience with drawing. Poses range from a few seconds to 20 minutes. A wide range materials will be provided from different types of paper and drawing media but feel free to bring your own media as well if you prefer.
