Final Summer Workshop – Extra Date Added!
Lee Krasner: Destroy | Create
Our summer painting series with artist and teacher Dan Whiteson is nearly over — but due to popular demand, we’ve added one final workshop on Monday 23rd September.
Lee Krasner: Destroy | Create is part of a new series of abstract and expressive painting workshops for all levels of experience.
You’ll create your own expressive works before tearing, cutting, and reassembling them into something entirely new.
All materials are provided (you’re welcome to bring your own), and no previous experience is required. The class takes place outside under cover — so dress comfortably and be ready for a little paint splash!
All classes take place in our Riverside Rooftop, overlooking the Gardens, classes run May to September.
