About this Event
Fashion Flow is a therapeutic art class, providing an opportunity to find joy and tranquility in an explorative and non-judgemental environment; to be in harmony with one’s creative flow, with the aim to nurture and explore our unique visual language that we were born with.
Centering the class around the concept of play, you will be guided with exercises and techniques to help build the foundations of a fashion drawing, whilst integrating the processes of mark making, observation and self-reflection, with Ben - your facilitator - holding space and modelling various ensembles for you to draw from.
Through a combination of therapeutic exercises and fashion drawing, you’ll discover how drawing from observation anchors you in the present moment, becoming a meditative experience. We start the class with a guided meditation to welcome you into the space and an aim to have you leaving feeling renewed and at one with yourself.
The class is open to all drawing abilities, even those with no prior drawing experience. Paper and drawing materials are provided, guests are welcome to bring their own too. Please arrive at least 10 minutes early to get settled, the class will start promptly at 7pm :)
About the facilitator:
Ben is an artist specialising in observational drawing. Graduating from Bournemouth Arts University with a BA in illustration, Ben went on to attend London Fashion week to draw live coverage at the shows, capturing the models, garments and streetwear ensembles. Noticing the positive effects drawing live had on his mental health, Ben set up his own class to benefit the wellbeing of others through the joy and simplicity of drawing, with a desire to bring more focus to wellness and embodiment practices. You can find more of his work and updates about his classes on Instagram @benspringhamstudio and on Facebook Ben Springham Studio.
