Organizer Information:
Berlin Drawing Room, an independent art workshop space in Berlin since 2011. We provide painting and drawing workshops taught in English to a wide, international community of students of all levels. We believe that the experience of hands-on creation should be accessible to anyone and that drawing is not a skill reserved for art making but is an essential part of communication and perceiving the world.
