Join artist Darcey Bella Arnold for an evening of guided drawing activities using a variety of materials. In this hands-on making workshop you will explore fundamental techniques and develop skills in observational and experimental approaches to drawing. The artist will guide participants through texture drawings or ‘rubbings’, observational drawing and collage with the idea of creating a finished drawing at the end of the session using these three elements. Accessible for all skill levels, this workshop is designed to give you a deeper appreciation for drawing as a generative creative activity.

All materials provided. BYO apron.
