People are being invited to “escape the daily rigours of life, disconnect from smartphones, tablets and their computers” and participate in a six-week drawing class headed by a Walthamstow artist next month.

Participants will explore a medley of drawing techniques using various mediums while studying dynamic installations, such as flowers, fruit, chrome, and glass.

The six-week course will begin at The Mill in Coppermill Lane on Monday, 2nd February, and take place every Monday from 7pm to 9pm. The final class will be on Monday 9th March.

Sofia, who attended the art class last year, said: “It was made accessible to all and was taught in a relaxed way. Above all, Jason shared his fascinating knowledge, and it was a great workshop for a beginner like me.”

Rose added: “Jason was engaging and positive. It was very educational and made me think about drawing in a different way. Great class! Nice people.”
