Mindfulness Through Expressive Drawing 1/2 Day with Emma J Read

This half day, afternoon workshop will be a fantastic opportunity to free up your creativity and discover different ways to draw amongst the gardens of Claridge House.

You’ll be encouraged to see differently, explore texture, shapes, line and both connect and disconnect your senses. Using found tools, charcoal, pencil and ink, you’ll walk away with interesting studies and new ways to see and draw. Finishing in our mindful session we also focus on how we connect our natural flow, energies, body and tools on an expressive large scale drawing. (sitting on the floor is beneficial for this section). No experience needed. All tools provided.
