Cast Gallery, Museum of Classical Archaeology
About
To coincide with Cambridge Visual Culture's lecture from Dominic Blake, life model and art writer, we are hosting two life drawing sessions in partnership with Cambridge-based artists Issam Kourbaj and the Museum of Classical Archaeology.
Participants will be guided by Kourbaj to craft works on paper that respond to the body of a life model whilst being inspired by the surroundings of an exceptional cast gallery.
