Modern Still Life Drawing Workshop with Hackney Arts

Join us for a Modern Still Life Drawing workshop in conjunction with the amazing Hackney Arts, at the Barge House in Haggerston. The Mark Makers is a London based pop up drawing workshop, run by working practitioner Alice Nyong. Fun and non – stuffy; the Mark Makers is couple of hours for yourself, to just be creative and expressive with no pressure from others or from yourself. 

This workshop aims to offer a new way of interpreting the traditional medium of still life, which perhaps you might have learnt at school, and more often than not been a bit bored by. By conceiving colourful, sassy and dynamic still lives (no dead fruit or skulls here) Alice creates beautiful shapes, colours and subject matter which make getting more confident with drawing and mark making a fun process.


Alice works as a freelance illustrator and designer, and shares the skills she uses every day both in her own work and in industry to give insider knowledge and mark making fundamentals in accessible demonstrations and exercises. This class is great for all skill sets, whether you’re a master mark maker or a total beginner.
