Le Gun drawing workshop

I need only to brush shoulders with the artists of Le Gun to be imbued with the elixir of life, which is so vital that it makes my hair stand on end, metaphorically speaking of course, as i am bald." Andrzej Klimowski, Professor of Illustration, the Royal College of Art

... for the first time Le Gun are opening the doors on their creative process...watch a lecture on the work of Le Gun and the theme of the session and then spend the day working with the artists on large scale collaborative drawings in an informal and fun atmosphere.

In our first workshop RANDOM FACTOR we will be generating ideas using the cut up technique explored by the Dadaists, William Burroughs and David Bowie, using chance combinations of location, character, object and scenario.

What you get:
one to one tuition with professional artist/illustrators
the opportunity to meet and collaborate with like minded people
techniques and processes that can be brought into your own working practice
in depth critique and feedback
