Lexi Strauss
4 Days
29th July - 1st August
A relaxed, hands-on course for beginners to explore the basic techniques of drawing and painting, build confidence, and discover their own creative style.
Lexi, an MA Painting graduate from the Royal College of Art (2014) and Fine Art graduate from Hereford College of Arts (2011), is a painter and performer known for her unique paintings, theatrical installations and art clown performances. Her work bridges art, theatre, and comedy, often exploring themes of humour and trauma—a focus recently supported by Arts Council England funding.

We recommend that attendees between the ages of 16 and 18 are accompanied by a parent or guardian who is also a paying participant.
This workshop is suitable for complete beginners or people with some drawing and painting experience who may want a refresher.
