About this Event

With 15 years of experience cultivating his unique approach to teaching and working with institutions such as The Wallace Collection, Village Underground, Soho House & Sothebys, Dan's classes offer a dynamic, informal approach and a focus on experimentation and creative freedom not found elsewhere. This fully tutored class is suitable for anyone from beginners to those looking to shake up more a more established practise, and with all materials provided, all you need to bring is yourself & an open mind.
Learn to embrace risk, to feel the benefit of stepping outside of your comfort zone and to make work inspired by observation but ultimately shaped by your own artistic impulses all with drink in hand! Each ticket includes a free welcome drink - either a 175ml glass of house red/white, or a soft drink.
*PLEASE NOTE* Drawing begins at 7.30pm. Please arrive by 7.20pm latest to grab your materials & ensure that we can begin the class promptly.
I know that this is a very difficult period for many, and never want cost to be a barrier to the arts, so please feel free to contact me directly for concessionary rates if money is tight.
