High Tide
About
Lecturer Ed Dickenson and artist educator Alex Bowie explore Jan Toorop's 'High Tide', currently on loan to the Gallery from the Broere Charitable Foundation.
First, listen to a brief talk, then respond by making your own work in this short, artist-led drawing session. Please have to hand a sharp pencil, paper and a rubber.
The session will take place online and will last about one hour.
Sometimes we might suggest using different drawing or craft materials, so, if you are able to, please keep a pencil case of different colours, a ruler and a pair of scissors nearby, as well as anything else you might like to experiment with.
This session will be accompanied by live speech-to-text transcription supported by Stagetext.
