About

Led by Gallery Educator and artist, Alex Bowie, join us to learn the basics of observation, composition and tone by drawing everyday objects.

This is a gentle, supportive session designed to help you build core drawing skills through playful experimentation. No experience needed, just curiosity and a willingness to try.
