Service Description

All materials provided Wednesdays 11am - 1pm No Class 1/2 term Wednesday 14th October Many people lament 'I have not really drawn since school' ... somehow yearning a lost part of themselves. We all dance, sing.... and draw, as young people, until sadly life takes over and we rarely lose our thoughts in a sketch, or drawing for months, then years at a time.... This course not only seeks to restore this creative outlet in you, but also seeks to give you an established language with which to become liberated and inspired in your drawing. Course Structure: 10 mornings Wednesday 11am - 1pm 23rd September to 2nd December 2026 in person class Days of personal project 3-8 December, online one to one session Wednesday 9th December Christmas Party Wednesday Night 9th December 6-8pm 10 mornings Wednesdays 11am - 1pm, 13th January to 17th March 2027 in person class Days 18th March to 23rd March personal project, one to one in person or online critique Wednesday 24th March Easter Party Wednesday night 24th March 6-8pm! We will explore a varied and rich variety of subjects from very simple single object drawing to start off with, to drawing hands to portraits and figure. The course will start off using pencil, then will expand to introducing different dry media, but always with the option to fall back on only pencil if you wish to.... Every three weeks will be dedicated to the following understanding and exposure to techniques which allow us to explore - Simplifying shapes - Light & Dark - Form & 3D Dimension - Composition - Nuance & Atmosphere - Intentional Choices By the end of the course, you will have a wealth of drawing experience and experimentation behind you, not having forgotten the 'power of play' along the way. By the end of the course, we hope you will have rediscovered your delight in drawing, and much like the ability to play a musical instrument, be able to elevate your everyday life through drawing.

Additionally, if you withdraw for any reason after the course has started you will not be entitled to a refund. We are a small business and we depend on every booking to ensure that classes can go ahead. If a tutor has to withdraw from teaching the scheduled course for any reason (medical/personal/professional) before the start of a scheduled course, during a scheduled course, if the course is 8 weeks long or scheduled as x3 terms of 8 weeks long each, The Edinburgh Drawing School will find a replacement tutor for the course designed by that tutor for The Edinburgh Drawing School. The course content will be the same as the originally booked course. A student will not be entitled to a refund should the school have no option but to find a replacement tutor. If a tutor leaves and starts work elsewhere, and a student prefers to take classes with them personally at the tutor's new workplace, that is at the discretion of the student and no refund is entitled to them or will be given. If a student is unable to attend a class due to medical/personal/professional reasons, then EDS must be informed immediately so that the tutor can be notified. If you are missing a class because you suspect that you have developed Covid-19, please let us know immediately so that we can alert fellow student and tutors. Non-attendance of classes/workshops does not automatically mean a refund, however EDS will assess the circumstance If a tutor cannot teach a class due to illness, the scheduled class will be covered by another tutor or the class will be postponed and rescheduled for the following week at the same time on the same day of the week. Make up classes are scheduled during the half term week, or in the week following the end of term. E.D.S. runs make up classes in 1/2 term or during an additional week at the end of term. If classes cannot take place in the studios for any reason at 13 or 13a Great King Street, they will an in alternative venue. Thus, the business always completes it's contractual obligations to booked students. If a student cannot attend a make up class, no refund is due.
