Life Drawing at Shambles

I am an artist and educator based in North Walsham, Norfolk. I am a qualified to teach adults (DTLLS) and have a BA (Hons) and Masters degree from Norwich University of the Arts. I love drawing, painting and sculpture as well as animation and film-making.Drawing is usually the first thing we do as children as soon as we can grasp something to make a mark with.  Schools and wider society do not put much value on drawing for fun or therapy and many people leave school thinking that they do not have enough skill to draw for recreation. I feel the first step towards increasing your level of skill is to learn to enjoy an activity, this makes practice more enjoyable.I believe that creative activity can help people to feel better in many ways. Developing new skills can raise self esteem and meeting new people in a friendly and encouraging environment can help foster a sense of community. I appreciate that people have different levels of ability so my focus is to help people to overcome the barrier of thinking that they are 'not good enough' to partake in drawing activities and also to offer a space for those who want to be creative.

Shambles Cafe Bar Bistro

This is a relaxed life drawing session that is held monthly. It is not officially a ‘tutored’ session, but I am available to give advice if anyone would like to learn more about techniques. It is suitable for any level of skill, from beginner to professional artist.

I encourage people to chat if they want to, make new connections and learn from those around them. All basic materials will be provided but we cannot supply easels, although you are very welcome to bring your own equipment.

Models will alternate so that regular attendees will experience a range of physiques.

The session is situated upstairs in Shambles , North Walsham. There is a bar downstairs where refreshments can be purchased. Shambles often have food offers on Wednesdays, so some attendee like to take advantage of that and have a meal downstairs before the drawing session. 

There is no need to print out tickets, as I will have a list of attendees.
