Recording life in lockdown

Live art workshop with
Claire Parker (2012)

Tuesday 23rd June

Life in lockdown can offer an opportunity to engage more deeply with the spaces and objects we tend to take for granted. This live workshop led by Clare Collage alumna (2012) and BBC One’s ‘The Big Painting Challenge’ finalist Claire Parker will explore approaches to drawing as a means to understanding, exploring, and recording the everyday – and to staying sane!

For this workshop you will need something which has taken on particular significance to you during lockdown. It might be a view, a piece of furniture, an object or collection of objects – anything which has meaning to you.

Do not worry if you have never drawn before – the only materials you will need are paper (printer paper is completely fine), tape (for sticking sheets of paper together), and a pencil.

Other media such as charcoal, pastels, and felt tip pens are welcome, but by no means essential.

After the class, please share your creations with us by emailing events@clare.cam.ac.uk.
