This is the second in a series of drawing workshops led by experienced artist-teacher Rachel Woods, suitable for beginners and skilled enthusiasts. No previous drawing experience is necessary. Spaces are limited to 8 participants, ensuring maximum tuition for each participant.
Each workshop is stand alone, but the complete series provides an introduction to observational drawing and experimental use of traditional drawing materials. Each workshop explores two or more of the visual elements - line, shape, space, tone, texture, rhythm and scale through mark-making. Creative confidence, knowledge and skills gained support further creativity, for example, using drawing as a starting point in painting, printmaking and other specialist areas.
The Art Room in The Corner House, Market Street, Charlbury, OX7 3QW serves as the base for these workshops, from which to then access nearby historic buildings and gardens for drawing activities.
Bespoke workshops, facilitated weekly drawing groups, private drawing tuition are also offered. For more information and to book a place, please email woodsrje@outlook.com

Will Killeen, originally from County Mayo, Ireland, is a highly acclaimed acoustic blues guitarist, singer and songwriter. He has a unique style - Celtic roots mixed with American blues. You can expect songs from early blues standards through to Dylan classics delivered with inimitable percussive guitar and whirling vocals. He's also considered to be one of the foremost slide guitar players in Europe today.
Will taught himself guitar from the age of 10 then, influenced by Howlin' Wolf, Doc Watson, The Pretty Things, Robert Johnson, Bob Dylan and the Rolling Stones, to name a few. Soon he was performing around London and once replaced Rory Gallagher when Taste was formed. He plays regularly at countless venues in England, Ireland, Wales, Scotland, Italy, Germany and the United States.
Will is a walking blues history manual, taking you on a journey from Robert Johnson and Elmore James through to an unlikely but brilliant version of "Duelling Banjos" - all on one acoustic guitar!
Will has been playing in Charlbury for over 20 years! Don't miss this outstanding musician!
The music starts at 9pm.

The 2024 Charlbury Beer Festival will take place on Saturday 29 June at Charlbury Cricket Club, from noon till late. There will be around 60 real ales, a variety of craft beers, a range of ciders and perries, wine, gin, and Pimm’s; a great selection of food (including vegan options); tea, cake and soft drinks; live music throughout; the Culture Club tent with its varied programme of performances and talks; children’s entertainment and activities; and high-octane sport with the World Aunt Sally Singles Championships.
All money raised by the Beer Festival is given out to community projects, both in the Charlbury area and overseas. We have now taken our total of funds raised for good causes to around £300,000. There have been donations to over fifty local organisations, ranging from Charlbury Primary School and the town’s Pre-School, to local sports clubs, Charlbury’s Day Centre and Community Centre, and overseas projects in Africa, India, South America and elsewhere.
We must thank those generous sponsors who finance the beers and the entertainment tents, and of course, the beers themselves, plus the many hours that committee members and other volunteers put in. Cheers all round!
Charlbury Cricket Club provides a glorious setting, just across the road from Charlbury Station. There are excellent all-day (including late night) bus and train services to and from Charlbury to Oxford, Chipping Norton, Reading, Witney, Worcester and London, so you don’t even need to drive if you want to have a drink.
To keep up to date with the festival, please visit our website and follow our social media pages (Facebook, Instagram, Twitter)
