Draw!

We shape projects alongside artists, children, schools, families, teachers, young people, students, adults and local community groups to explore drawing in all its forms. Drawing is used as a means to play, experiment, communicate, collaborate and come together in a process of collective learning.

Library & Research

Our Library & Research Centre is a growing specialist reference library currently includes approximately 3,500 books and 70 journal titles on international contemporary drawing since the 1970s, and includes rare items not held in other major UK and Irish libraries. The general reference collection includes artists’ monographs featuring drawing, exhibition catalogues, journals, theory, collection catalogues, and surveys on drawing.

Over the summer term of ROCK PAPER SCISSORS afters

Over the summer term of ROCK PAPER SCISSORS afterschool club artist Olivia Twist and the children have explored their passions through symbolic drawing. The children also experimented with a range of different materials including clay and printmaking. To conclude the project, they made a collaborative paper island for their parents/guardians.

With thanks to the children and teachers of Grange Primary School, Olivia Twist, Jesse Ajilore, Solomon Williams, Will Nicholls, Genevieve Miller and Betsy Dadd.

The ROCK PAPER SCISSORS programme is generously supported by Freelands Foundation.
