Autumn Workshops 2011

Our workshop programme has now been published and is ready to book.

We have a wide range of inspiring and fascinating workshops this term starting with Botanical Drawing with award winning artist Julia Trickey.

If you have ever been tempted to try life drawing but haven't had the confidence to try one of our drop in classes, then our Introduction to Life Drawing classes will be perfect for you.

For the more experienced then we have a number of less formal life drawing sessions throughout the term, details here.

Other highlights include opportunities to experiment and explore different techniques with our Drawing into Print and Drawing with Mixed Media and Techniques workshops. As well as Watercolour with Jake Winkle.

We are also pleased to welcome back artist Paul Wright with his Portrait in Oils class which was immensely popular last time so don't delay booking.

Another popular and inspiring course is Alan McGowan's Anatomy Drawing a must for anyone interested in drawing the figure.
