Drawn together is our monthly drawing social. Everyone is welcome to these relaxed sessions, encouraging you to have a go and express yourself, whether you're new to drawing or a seasoned sketcher.
A relaxed, playful workshop where participants create exaggerated cardboard and paper extensions to transform their bodies, faces, and figures into physical cartoon characters. In their new forms, participants will draw portraits of one another, experimenting with shape, colour, and expressive mark-making.
The workshop encourages looseness, experimentation, and play, while blending 2D drawing approaches with 3D making and performance.
