Exploring line through landscape and imagination, we will work with material and architectural prompts from our immediate surroundings to map our dreams and memories onto paper. This workshop will offer practical guidance around perspective and gesture drawing, while encouraging participants to apply these skills to new ways of understanding their unique bodies and minds in space.
