Experimental Drawing Workshop 1

Join our international artist-in-residence, Kuzana Ogg, in opening your eyes to the freedom and creativity of ‘experimental drawing’. Using a range of household objects and natural items you will learn to communicate mark, atmosphere and image using ink and pencil. You’ll expand and sharpen your personal visual vocabulary whilst broadening your experience of drawing to include methods of collaboration and experimentation with a range of materials.

A really fun and different way to spend your Sunday afternoon!  Open to all abilities.

This is the first of two workshops over two weeks.  You can attend just the one or both as the content is different in each.  Find out about the second workshop here.

• Introduction
• Preparation of tools using your found items
