At our **Speed Speaking** event, we come together in a cosy circle, taking turns responding to quick, playful, and thought-provoking prompts, ranging from lighthearted questions to unexpected twists that spark curiosity and smiles. We begin with gentle breathing or simple improv exercises to help everyone relax, feel present, and connect with the group. You’ll have up to two minutes per turn, just enough time to express yourself without pressure, so everyone gets multiple chances to step up and speak. Each round brings a fresh topic and an easy invitation to share. There’s no overthinking and no pressure to perform, just authentic moments and genuine voices. This is a space where you don’t need to be “good” or get anything right. It’s about enjoying the experience, exploring your voice, and connecting with others in a warm, supportive atmosphere. You’re free to jump in and share, or simply listen and take in the energy. Either way, you’ll be surrounded by laughter, kindness, and a welcoming sense of community. Along the way, you’ll naturally build confidence in public speaking through relaxed, human conversations, without it ever feeling forced. You’ll leave feeling lighter, more at ease expressing yourself, and more confident using your voice both on stage and in everyday life. Come for the conversation, stay for the connection, and leave with a stronger, more confident voice. As our event is kindly hosted by the pub, we warmly encourage everyone to support the venue by purchasing a drink before this session. Your contribution helps us continue using this welcoming space and keeps these gatherings possible for everyone. Kindly RSVP in good time and keep your attendance status up to date. As we’re limited to a maximum of 20 participants, this helps us manage the space and offer spots to others who’d love to join. If you enjoy being here and find something meaningful in this event, you can always support me by leaving a little something 💛☕ No pressure at all, just your presence means a lot. But if you’d like to help me keep creating and hosting more moments like this, I truly appreciate it. Thank you for being part of this!

**Join artist Robin-Lee Hall for a masterclass in how to paint in the ancient medium of egg tempera.** Egg tempera is a beautifully delicate medium, allowing you to build luminescent layers and fine detail. The medium was used by artists such as Sandro Botticelli and Leonardo da Vinci, and helped to define their painting and drawing styles. The process of creating an egg tempera painting is unlike any other painting medium. There are no harmful solvents involved, just powdered pigment mixed with egg and water. It feels at first like watercolour and dries just as quickly. However, successive layers of paint create a luminous colour saturated finish. The medium also allows you to create intricate detail and layering of mark making to create volumous surfaces. Join us to draw with pure colour! ***Outline of the day*** Participants will learn how to make their own paint, learn about raw pigments, mix colour and handle the medium. This will then be applied to developing a small work, either from still life or a reference image. All materials are provided. ***Your Tutor*** Robin-Lee Hall is a prize-winning artist and Past President of the Royal Society of Portrait Painters. She works primarily in egg tempera, but also uses other mediums including digital drawing on an iPad. Robin lectures and delivers workshops at the National Gallery, the National Portrait Gallery and the Royal Academy of Arts. Her work has been exhibited widely, in and around London, including the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition and in the National Portrait Gallery’s Portrait Award. **Portrait in Egg Tempera with Robin-Lee Hall** **Saturday 11 April** **10-4.30pm** **£110 All materials included** [MORE INFO & BOOKING](https://londondrawing.com/product/portrait-in-egg-tempera-masterclass-with-artist-robin-lee-hall-11-april-2026/) **VENUE:** **Artizan Street Library & Community Centre** 1 Artizan Street London E1 7AF

**The workshop consists of two sessions:** **Sunday 12th and Monday 13th of April** **10.00am- 4.00pm (on-site)** For many of us, working from life -especially with a model- is a cornerstone of our artistic practice. Building on a long tradition, we often reach a point where we crave more personal expression in our work. Whether this urge arises on day one or after years of practice, the question remains: How do we find our unique artistic voice? How can we expand into abstraction or imagination? How do we bridge the gap between working with a model in the studio and continuing our creative journey at home? Sharing from their personal practice, Suzon will guide participants in discovering and nurturing their own creative voice throughout this two-day workshop. An opportunity to expand your creative toolbox and discover new ways of working. **Day 1** We’ll explore visual brainstorming techniques and discover how to infuse our paintings with a deeply personal touch. Focusing on one key concept at a time, we’ll experiment with pushing, stretching, and playing with these ideas to develop a language that feels both personal and intentional. • How can we use values to evoke specific sensations? • Which colours best convey our emotions? • How can our marks and composition and add deeper layers of meaning to our work? By the end of the day, you’ll have learned new skills and ways to engage creatively. Most importantly, you’d have remembered that ‘Learning to paint well’ is one great thing, but ‘Learning to create the paintings that no one else’s but you could paint’ is the true magic! **Day 2, working with a model** We’ll apply our expanded creative toolbox to the unique challenge of working with a model. Moving beyond straightforward representation, we’ll create paintings that are grounded in reality yet elevated by your personal artistic choices. No two paintings will be the same: they’ll each be a mirror of your unique artistic voice. These two days are perfect for anyone eager to deepen their connection to their creative voice and develop a more personal painting practice. Whether you are an experienced painter or new to the practice, Suzon welcomes participants at all levels and with any medium: oil, acrylic, gouache, colour pencils… come with what inspires you! The workshop will take place in a supportive and inspiring environment, encouraging creative risk-taking, curiosity, and the discovery of your own visual signature. We plan to share a vegetarian lunch, optional. **[Info and bookings on our website](https://www.dulwichartgroup.co.uk/product/beyond-figure-painting-explore-your-art-voice/)**

This is just a studio session, with no Zoom. We will have a life model in the same pose for three hours in the afternoon, usually for two consecutive weeks. This is an untutored session run by a professional painter who will always be happy to give advice. Other than model breaks, usually every 25 minutes, we break for tea and cake at 3.30pm for twenty minutes. Our studio is divided up into workstations or ‘positions’ and whilst each position has a good view of the model many artists prefer to be front and centre. (Actually, you often get a more interesting composition to the side of the room). You can also just turn up at the studio on spec and find a place to paint. Our studio has a light and friendly atmosphere. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced painter, come and paint with us! We have a wonderful community of artists who join us each week. Costs From £20 – £25 per session [More info and bookings here](https://www.dulwichartgroup.co.uk/product/saturday-morning-life-painting-drawing/)

Join us for a tour of Brothers Drake Meadery in Grandview, hosted by the owner Oron Benary. He will explain the mead-making process and offer us generous samples of their fine meads. Mead is basically wine that is made from honey instead of grapes. There are many different flavors that range from dry, semi-dry, semi-sweet, to sweet. They are best known for their Apple Pie Mead. Oron has offered us a special price of 5.00 each person for the tour and tasting, which is normally 25.00 per person. I've taken the tour several times, and it's always enlightening and fun. Rebecca will bring a tea that will pair well with the mead for a tea tasting afterwards. Park anywhere around the building. Please avoid parking in front of the houses in the neighborhood behind the Meadery. Please keep your RSVP current. Knowing how many will attend will help Brothers Drake plan accordingly to accommodate us.
