Open Saturdays: Demonstrate & Create
Saturday 9 September 2017 2 - 3.30pm
The Learning Studio or The John Madejski Fine Rooms, Burlington House, Royal Academy of Arts, Piccadilly
Free, sign-up on the day in the Front Hall.
Join us at the RA on the second Saturday of every month for an artist-led taster workshop, focusing on a specific artistic technique each session.
In these monthly workshops, our artist will demonstrate an artistic technique relating to an object in the RA’s permanent collection or to a specific historical architectural feature of the building. This will be followed by a short creative session, supported by volunteers, in which you can create your own work inspired by the technique.
This month, learn the Italian art of sgraffito. Take inspiration from landscapes in the RA Collection and carve through the surface of a piece of clay to reveal line, pattern or pictures in a contrasting colour.
Please sign up on the day in the Front Hall an hour before the session. These sessions are free but spaces are limited.
