As we draw, what is happening?…What can happen?

This workshop explores drawing’s potential: How can we use drawing to perceive the world around us? To envision new ideas? To make our ideas real?

Through conversation and guided drawing experiments, we will connect with the basic tools and concepts of drawing. This workshop is for people who have never drawn before, people who draw every day, and everyone in between.

All drawing materials, and light refreshments will be provided.
