Caricatures at events

I will occasionally be available to come along to an event (locally) at an hourly rate. Children's parties, fetes, balls or charity functions are all suitable places for a caricaturist. I would ask for shelter (any risk of rain would mean I couldn't draw!), light (evening events can be very dark!) and seats.

Hourly rate:

Daytime (10am to 7pm) £25 per hour
Nighttime (7pm to 1am) £50 per hour

Welcome to Hayley Fern Caricatures

Welcome to Hayley Fern Caricatures!

This is more of a revival than a starting point! I have been doing caricatures for many, many years in this area (Loughborough) and only really stopped when I got my job in Community Arts (because all of my time was taken up). So often, I have been asked to start doing the odd picture again and, due to a recent batch, have remembered how much I enjoy it!

I have separated this blog from my main work blog because it is a private business and not associated with my main employment. I decided to use this method to advertise my caricatures and allow them to be shared.

I will be including all availability, prices and ways of commissioning a caricature for yourself. It is a small business, just me at my kitchen table with a few marker pens and charcoal sticks, very reasonably priced, accessible and friendly.

The reason why I love this art form is its longevity and popularity (as well as simplicity in terms of materials). I meet so many local teenagers who had their caricature done by me years ago, and still have them framed on their bedroom walls! I hear from mums who have had all of their children drawn in the past and want to add caricatures to the wall as they add to their families.

So, I am back. Tecnology now allows me to tell you about it so I am doing just that.

Look out for examples of my work and the information and prices you need to have a caricature done.

Happy days!

Hayley
