9 December: Drawing the Infinite: From Small Scale to the Vast with Emma Theyers

A drawing workshop exploring the movement between the minute and  the expansive. The class will begin with abstract and expressive mark-making using a range of materials, then move toward close observation and the addition of detailed drawings of small natural and found objects. Through a mix of imaginative exploration, layered compositions, and attention to scale, participants will discover how drawing can shift between micro and macro worlds.
