Craig will introduce his approach to drawing using pen, pencil, watercolour and coloured pencil, seen in his recently published book of Building People drawings as one way of humanising the built environment. The workshop will be approx 60 minutes with a series of simple exercises culminating in a finished drawing.

Building People is a playful collection of Craig Moller’s lockdown-era drawings, where buildings come to life with human and animal traits.

Blending humour, warmth, and charm, Moller turns architecture into a personal, expressive art form – reminding us that buildings, like drawings, are ultimately about people.

 

Tickets are $15 and the event is limited to 20 participants.

4pm at the Gallery.
