The Drawing Lab

Feeling stuck in your creative practice and in need of a shake up? Is your perfectionism clipping your creative wings? Or would you like to give drawing a go but feel intimidated by the idea of a “good drawing”? Come along to an evening of experimental drawing where the focus truly is on the journey rather than the destination. You might well leave here feeling refreshed and inspired.

Every session we’ll be focusing on a different approach to drawing, which is designed to invite us to question traditional ideas of what makes a "good drawing", as well as hopefully reveal that there are many different ways to look at the subject. But more importantly each experiment will encourage us to take ourselves less seriously and to have fun drawing alongside likeminded people.

About the artist:

Daniela Terrazzini is a local professional illustrator, who’s illustrated many books for children including Where Snow Angels Go, The Boy Who Lost his Spark, longlisted for a Yoto Carnegie Medal for Illustration, and When the Stammer Came to Stay - all written by award winning author Maggie O’Farrell - as well as The Night I Met Father Christmas by Ben Miller. Daniela studied Fine Art Painting in Milan and moved to London in 1999 to study photography at the London College of Printing. She currently runs drawing sessions at a local school and can be regularly spotted in Telegraph Hill walking her mildly obsessive dog, Moka, while chatting away about her own latest obsessions. Her fringe is often too short… you can’t miss her.
