Join us for a relaxing guided art class in Cambridge, where you'll learn everything you need to know about charcoal drawing! This playful art form is perfect for finding your creative flow – so whether you're a complete beginner or an experienced artist, you'll be able to switch off and get stuck in.
Led by professional artist Irene, you'll be taken on a creative journey through the world of charcoal drawing, starting with a warm-up and an introduction to the various techniques. Working from the large shape to the small, you'll master creating different textures and finish the workshop with a beautiful handmade charcoal drawing to take home.
This art class is a calming and mindful experience, so whether you're looking to improve your drawing skills or just switch off and relax, it's the perfect option. You'll be encouraged to focus on the activity of drawing and the journey, rather than the final outcome, and there will be plenty of opportunities to ask questions and get some great hands-on tips.

Hello! I’m Irene. My journey into art began when my nan, who was an artist, left me her art materials. I started painting and have never stopped. I’ve explored painting, drawing, and sketching, discovering how art can bring joy and clarity to our lives.
I’m excited to share what I’ve learned along the way and help others unlock their own artistic potential. Let’s explore the world of art together and find inspiration in every brushstroke and sketch.
