Trinity Buoy Wharf Drawing Prize 2026 Education Pack
An education pack inspired by the drawings included in the Trinity Buoy Wharf Drawing Prize 2026 exhibition.
Published: September 2026
Drawing is Free is delighted to have collaborated with Drawing Projects UK to create an education pack inspired by the drawings selected for the Trinity Buoy Wharf Drawing Prize 2026︎︎︎.
This year the pack contains a series of six instructions for drawing classes, each inspired by a drawing selected for the prize.
The instructions are designed to be followed both by an individual and by a teacher leading a group of students. They are written for those new to drawing, artists with experience and anyone in-between. My intention is to offer a defined moment of time with drawing through different ways of focussing attention. I want to encourage freedom of expression, connection with your drawn line and - very importantly - fun!
The booklet also contains a short introduction which considers what drawing as an ‘Undercurrent’ - the theme of the accompanying drawing symposium - might mean to a teacher advocating for time, support, space and resources for their students to draw.
Chloe Briggs and Anita Taylor will be running an in-person introduction to the education pack at Trinity Buoy Wharf at 6pm on Thursday, 17th September 2026. Find out more and book︎︎︎
