Taking inspiration from ‘Wild Thing: Epstein, Gaudier-Brzeska, Gill’, this sketching tour led by architect and teacher Benedict O’Looney explores the collaborations between sculptors and architects that characterised the design scene in the early twentieth century.

The tour continues down the Mall to Sir Thomas Brock RA’s Victoria Memorial by Buckingham Palace and finishes at Charles Sargeant Jagger’s Royal Artillery Memorial at Hyde Park Corner.
Meet at the RA; 11 am–4 pm; £45/£25 reductions (includes 'Wild Thing' exhibition entry); own materials required
