Designed for the people who say: “Oh, I cant even draw a straight line!”
Or... for those who loved art earlier and seek a way to reconnect with creativity.
I am an artist that studied BA FA (Painting) at the University of Cape Town. For much of my time in London, I’ve worked as an editor and lifestyle writer. Three years ago I committed to transforming my life into living as a full-time artist.
As a way of finding my voice, I engaged in a highly rigorous drawing practice, and drew every day for over 600 days in a row and then posted every day to Instagram. @gordonglynjones
My workshops share what I learned about 're-learning' on this incredible journey.
In the workshops I show, through drawing, how absolutely anyone can open the creative conduits of the mind, in unexpected and exhilarating ways.

WHAT HAPPENS IN THE WORKSHOPS?
- We have a playful conversation about our childhood conditioning re: ‘creativity’.
- Put big fat pencils into people’s hands and set them free on big surfaces!
- Play drawing games, that help let go of 'looking good' and perfectionism.
- Share ways of dissolving creative road-blocks through music and play.
- How to include cooperation, connectivity and ‘team’ as part of creative vitality.
