In Emily’s words:
“Drawing is a native skill we all have. I see drawing as a game we play with our eyes, hands, and tools. The aim isn’t to make a masterpiece - it’s about making mistakes and learning from them. Together we’ll experiment with how we see and how we draw, challenging our habits and exploring new possibilities.”
This course offers exceptional value, combining expert guidance, a structured curriculum, and plenty of hands-on practice. Some paper and basic drawing materials such as charcoal and black Indian ink will be provided but we recommend to bring any other materials you would to use.
Spaces are limited to maintain a high-quality learning environment — early booking is strongly recommended. Join us and rediscover the joy of drawing.
