Sena Shah

Free entry

We’re delighted to introduce you to the work of artist Sena Shah in his first exhibition outside London.

He has pioneered a distinctive way of merging felt fabric with a paper thin reflective material (mirrors) that enables the art to change as the viewer sees it from left to right - creating a lenticular effect. The best way to fully appreciate the magic is to see the art in person so be sure to catch it within the Vestry Café gallery this autumn.

The Drawing Room

£75/£72(c) • Friends £73/£70(c)

Join artist Rose-Marie MJ for this 4-week crash-course where we’ll explore the various elements of drawing, bringing a newfound confidence in your mark making and a dynamism to your drawing.

Throughout the four weeks, we’ll learn how to make quick sketches in preparation for your drawing, discovering how to record a “scene” so that you’re ready to add depth and detail later on. Rose will cover total basics – how to control your pencil/drawing implement to obtain the very best effect. We’ll look at perspective, vanishing points and proportion to help us capture distance and depth within our work.
