Young JW3 presents an immersive drawing workshop hosted by artist, filmmaker and musician Hugo Max.
This small group session is open to those in their 20s and 30s with no prior artistic experience required. The session will unfold through a series of playful exercises in graphite and charcoal that embrace experimentation and collaboration.
Engaging with different sensory approaches to drawing, whether through touch or deep listening, the workshop will focus on process rather than product to ask questions about the role of improvisation in daily experience.
This Improvisational Drawing workshop precedes Kosher Giraffes & Other Tails, a screening of Max’s experimental films featuring live improvised soundtracks at JW3 Cinema. The workshop will provide a unique perspective on the film programme.
Plus, you'll get 50% off your ticket to Kosher Giraffes & Other Tails if you book the improvisational drawing workshop.
