About the drawing session
Inspired by the textures and layers in our current exhibition, Empathy to Infiltration, this drawing session explores a broad range of experimental surfaces and mark-making techniques. Through this tutored session you’ll explore ideas about journey, time and layers on an individual level, which can take the form of an artist’s book.
All materials will be provided. Drawers of all abilities welcome.
