Since
2007 I run adrawing group in London, initially as part of my collaborative drawing practice Ortelius Drew.
The group is free and open to all interested in drawing. Each session ends with an informal review where materials and techniques are discussed.

The UNSEEN Emporium and the Gilded State Barge Somerset House


The final drawing group date for 2014 – two locations at Somerset House! T H E U N S E E N is an exploration house that blends biological and chemical matter into materials; focused on seeing the unseen by combining science with art, design and performance. The House opens its doors to a magical world of science fused with design. 
A visitor centre featuring audiovisual displays on the history of the building and the gilded state barge of the Lord Mayor of the City of London are open in the wing overlooking the river. At the time of construction, the river was not embanked and the Thames lapped the South Wing of Somerset House where three great arches allowed boats and barges to penetrate to landing places within the building. 
Thanks to Christa, Nicola and Lauren from The Unseen for organising this special date!
