About this Event
Two of portrait art's most disTwo of portrait art's most distinctive voices come together for a series of drawing workshops you won't forget.
Sam Jevon - the "Queen of Wonky" - is an artist at Submit to Love Studios whose intensely detailed, immediately recognisable line drawings have been exhibited at the Barbican, the Southbank Centre and Autograph Gallery. Buildings, faces and animals become curiously crooked and contorted under her guidance, made with an architect's concentration and an energy that can fill any room.
Wilfrid Wood is a London-based portrait artist known for his sculpted and drawn likenesses - bold, brutally honest, always hilarious. A former headbuilder on Spitting Image, Wilfrid has spent decades capturing faces in plasticine, clay and on paper, finding the uniqueness in every kind of face, showing the best portraits are the ones that really see you, for you.
Together, Sam and Wilfrid will lead two intimate portrait drawing sessions - open to all abilities - exploring observation, character and the joy of getting things beautifully, brilliantly wrong.
All materials provided. No experience necessary.
Presented by: Submit to Love Studios at The Art House by Acrylicize. Supported by Headway East London and Leigh Day.
