The second of two evenings of drawing parties taking place within Rendered Futures: Drawing architecture – with a rolling cast of tutors leading quick-fire drawing workshops in between drinks and snacks.
Your tutors for this evening are Julie Stout (Mitchell Stout Dodd Architects) and Frances Cooper (Athfield Architects). Working together, Julie and Frances will introduce an approach to drawing: starting with making drawing instruments and using the method of collage, workshop drawing participants will imagine a space of ones own over the evening.
Join us for live making and collage, and enjoy some legendary Objectspace hospitality.
Tickets are $15 and all materials are provided.
