5 Week Course

This five-week Experimental Portraiture course offers students the opportunity to explore innovative methods for drawing faces through dynamic, hands-on experimentation. Working with a live model, participants will delve into unconventional techniques such as mixed media, abstraction, and playful mark-making to push the boundaries of traditional portraiture. Designed to inspire creativity and foster individual expression, this course encourages students to discover unique artistic voices while developing their technical skills in a supportive, collaborative environment.

COURSE TUTOR: SARAH JOHN

Sarah is a practising ceramics and fine artist and is a regular tutor at Exeter Phoenix. Observation of human and natural form (in both 2D and 3D media) has remained central to her interests. Sarah focuses on learning ‘ways to see’, that are key for expressing the world of form around us, and on sharing skills and techniques in an informal atmosphere, which bring out the best creative ideas.

Workshop attendees get 10% off all food and hot drinks at the Café Bar.
