Do you always draw the same things? Maybe you feel intimidated to go outside your comfort zone and draw more challenging things..

Don’t get stuck in a rut and let illustrator Steven Buckler help you. He believes ‘Everyone can draw’ and will help you do just that.

Steven will help you learn the foundations of observational drawing, and will show you how to apply this to feel confident in drawing what you like, so that you come away from this workshop with techniques that can be applied to anything.

For young artists aged 11-16, this group helps young people connect with their creativity and get to know contemporary art practices.
