This Course takes place on the weekend of Saturday 30th July 2022 to Sunday 31st July 2022
This energetic all-day, fully tutored life drawing weekend will introduce you to the fundamentals of life drawing through fast paced exercises, led by artist and tutor Shelley Morrow. Involving plenty of personal feedback this rigorous two-day workshop is suitable for complete beginners and more experienced artists hoping to refresh their drawing skills.

The session will start at 10am and you are welcome to arrive from 9:30am. When you arrive at New England House you’ll need to come to the main doors next to the Building Managers Office on Level 3 and call the number on the door to be admitted - please note that you’ll need to wear a mask at all times in the corridors of New England House. Once you’re at the session you’ll need to show a digital or printed receipt as proof of booking, then you’re ready to go. All materials and equipment will be provided, so you just need to bring yourself and plenty of energy! We’ll take a lunch break half way through the day – you are welcome to bring a packed lunch, or to pop to the nearby Sainsbury’s, or a café on London road.
