About Summer School Days
Based on a summer program that I created and taught for art educators at Paris College of Art you will find a range of experiences that will both connect you with your creative practice and offer you new ways of thinking and working.
Paris will be our playground: from the parks and gardens, institutional spaces, the streets and cafes and my little studio.
I will share my experience as a teacher and artist, support you with your work and show you parts of the city I love.
This series of ‘Summer School Days’ is designed so that you can take part in just one, several or all of the sessions. The full programme is below, or ︎Download the Information booklet︎︎︎ [PDF 1.1mb]
To Sign Up:
One day sessions are €55-€65, materials included, or you can book the full week for €280.
For more information and to sign up, please
︎ email contact@drawingisfree.org with ‘Summer School Days’ in the subject line︎︎︎
and please specify which day(s) you are interested in.
