Tutor - Sophie Rae

1-day workshop

Wednesday 3 June 2026, 10.30am - 4.30pm

Inspired by the joyful energy of the RWA’s Dance Out exhibition, this lively one-day workshop with muralist and print-maker Sophie Rae is an opportunity to explore a bold, experimental print-making technique while celebrating the power of dance.

Through playful use of rollers and stencils, transparent inks, and layered printing, create vibrant scenes of stylised figures in motion. Add abstract gestures and rhythmic patterns to bring your prints to life, capturing the buzz, movement, and shared joy of people dancing together. Expect an uplifting, hands-on day filled with colour and creativity.

Please wear clothes suitable for an art studio, and be aware that you will need to take work away with you at the end of the session (please bring a plastic bag or similar, as some work may still be slightly damp).

Venue

This class will be taking place at the RWA Drawing School Studio, Royal West of England Academy, BS8 1PX
