Drawn at the Soane

Over 60 people of all ages picked up their pens and drew at Beep Studio's workshop at Sir John Soane's Museum. As part of 'The Big Draw' festival, visitors chose from a set of creative stimulated drawing activities designed for all levels and abilities.

It was lovely to see young children, their parents, professional illustrators, university students, and retirees all happily doodling away on the same table, and on the same challenge!

Thank you to all at the Soane, to Megan and Victoria from The University of Kent for helping out, and to everyone who came down and took part.

Some wonderful drawings emerged - see below for a selection of some of our favourites.

The Big Draw at Sir John Soane's Museum

We're delighted to be leading a day of drawing activites this Saturday 24 October at Sir John Soane's Museum as part of The Big Draw 2015.

Drop in between 11am and 4pm to join hourly creative drawing workshops, or choose an activity from the menu and explore the museum and surrounding open spaces.

Going Underground

The Great Aquarium, Kew Gardens

The Palm House is the most popular attraction of the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew. Rather less known is the great aquarium, which lies beneath the palm house in a reflection of the iconic structure. To one side, visitors gaze at the Victorian seaweed gardens beneath the waters of the ornamental lake. To the other side the largest aquarium in northern Europe is home to an unrivalled collection of sea creatures from around the world.

Stairs spiral up from ground level up over the tree canopy and down under the root canopy, which hangs overhead, held by tensile nets.

Visitors note: the attraction is currently closed for refurbishment.

Peter produced the drawing over election night 2015. He writes:
The Architects Journal & RIW competition 'Going Underground' asks people to imagine what lies below landmark buildings. I was reminded of a trip to Kew many years ago with some friends. Whilst walking through the Palm House we noticed a sign pointing down a set of stairs to the Aquarium. My friends were surprised to see this, so I carefully explained that there was indeed an aquarium beneath the building, and that it had been designed as an exact reflection of the building above, from which you could peer out into the murk of the lake beyond. Excitedly, we walked down the stairs to see what lay below...
