Bad Art Workshops

'Bad Art' is a drawing workshop celebrating low brow, controversial and outsider style art in which we will create the worst art possible. Open to everyone.

If you think you can draw great, if you think you can't draw at all even better.

Fun and supportive events taking the stress out of drawing. What is 'correct' or pretty isn't the only way - sometimes 'bad' art is the best art.
