Draw to Explore with Wallis Eates

Bauhaus master, Paul Klee, said that a drawing is simply a line going for a walk.

We're always right where we are, but with a pencil and a piece of paper we can travel in so many ways, right from that spot.

I will guide us through a few simple drawing exercises that will up your connect with the world around you, inviting you to meet yourself and others along the way. We're all here together.

The emphasis is not to make a beautiful drawing to exist in the future, but to engage with the process, slow down, feel into it, be present. Whatever you create will be a memento of the experience.

Join me, join your lines, and let's go exploring.
