Life Drawing:
The Body and the Fluid Line
11am–1pm, Sunday 18th September 2022
In nature, it is rare to find a rigid straight line––our bodies too are a sensual sculpted mass that speak of growth and change. In this life drawing session, we will be considering gestural approaches to drawing that attempt to embody this.

Tonal Work with Ink
3-5pm, Sunday 9th October 2022
As shadows lengthen and contrast becomes more pronounced we will explore tonal values using different dilutions of ink, working in monochrome.

'Handmade Brushes' on 25th September up at St.Ronan's Wells (see Eventbrite)

Marking the Rhythm, Moving the Line
7-9pm Friday 30th September 2022
A light-hearted session to loosen our grip and get us moving. Here, we'll experiment with the surprising impact that music can have on the expression of our mark-making.
Draw softly, furiously, rhythmically, freely...
You might want to join this class to uncover new forms of marks to take forward into your drawing practice but equally you're welcome to join this class purely for the fun of it !
