The workshop is linked to our forthcoming publication Unlock your Hidden Drawer. The book, and workshop, are for everyone: people who have not drawn since they were children,  as well as those who desire to draw in new ways, and educators wanting to share the joy of drawing and to help people unlock their drawers.

What enables / stops drawing?

Drawing workshop, led by FAB – Fava, Acevedo & Brew. The workshop is part of a series, linked to our forthcoming publication Unlock your Hidden Drawer! 
In this workshop we shared our best Unlocking exercises.
The book, and workshops, are for everyone: people who have not drawn since they were children,  as well as those who desire to draw in new ways (open new drawers), and educators wanting to share the joy of drawing and to help people unlock their drawers.
The 90 minute 2B session included our monthly catch-up / sharing for all, for us to check in and update one another on e.g. our new ways of teaching online, the challenges of Covid and lockdowns. Then FAB endeavoured to give you a very fun drawing workshop, reconnecting with your child self and drawing for joy.
​
Throughout the workshop series we welcome your contributions, and will credit you for any Unlocking Drawers exercises we publish in the book.
