Over the course of 2 days, Laurie will provide a supportive and friendly space to learn the fundamentals needed to draw architecture, focusing on the church inside and out.
You will explore the church interior and exterior to make 15-minute sketches, as well as larger hour-long drawings to practise different observation methods and techniques, using pencil, charcoal, pastel, and watercolour. Laurie will provide demos and examples to help you learn along the way, focusing on proportion and perspective.
You will draw the exterior of the church from different viewpoints, like the graveyard and the Abbey Grounds. You will then be encouraged to focus on smaller details such as a chapel or window.
You will leave this workshop with newfound confidence and the fundamental skills for drawing architecture that can be transferred to further drawing. You will have started a collection of drawings in your own sketchbook to inspire you to continue your architectural drawing journey.
Knowledge required
This workshop is suitable for all levels, including beginners and those with experience who would like to develop their practices.
What to bring
Please bring an A4 or A3 sketchbook; all other materials will be provided.

New Brewery Arts is Cirencester’s creative heart — a vibrant cultural charity housed in the historic buildings of the former Cirencester Brewery.
After the brewery’s closure in 1937, the site fell into disuse and was nearly lost to demolition. Thanks to a visionary local group, two of the remaining buildings were restored and transformed into craft workshops, opening as Cirencester Workshops in 1978.
Its mission is to champion craft — making it, learning it, and supporting the people who do it. Its courses, workshops, makers’ studios, 100% UK-made craft shop, and café all contribute to a vibrant creative hub at the heart of Cirencester.
