About the Session

About the Session

"You only do something new when you don't know what you are doing."

Join Nic Plowman for a hands-on workshop that puts play, curiosity, and experimentation at the centre of drawing practice. Through guided exercises, you'll break, bend, and blend techniques — discovering new ways of seeing and making that expand what's possible in your practice. Whether you're deepening your own work or looking for fresh approaches to bring into the classroom, this workshop offers practical strategies and genuine creative momentum.

Come ready to make a mess and leave with new ideas.
