Join artist Peter Liversidge in this workshop session to create your own placards to keep or contribute to our upcoming exhibition.

You will be led by artist Peter Liversidge through the process of sign painting. You will learn how to shape the letters, and come up with your own placard. All materials are provided.

No experience is necessary, Peter will guide you through the process, with the opportunity to chat about the project and your experiences.

The ideas, suggestions and thoughts expressed through the drawings created in the workshop will go into the new Royal College of Nursing Library and Museum exhibition on ‘The Art of Nursing’.

You can watch a short guide to painting the letters and an introduction video from Peter on YouTube.
