We have had to slightly adjust the timings of the day, starting 15 minutes earlier - see below.

We are delighted to announce the topic of our next Study Day on Wednesday 25th November: Funny for a Living with the Venning Brothers, Harry and Barry. Explore the art and craft of cartooning with Harry and Barry in 3 Sessions:

Session 1 – An introduction to the distinctive profession of cartooning, including the development of ideas, the realities of sustaining a creative career, and the balance between good and bad taste.

Session 2 – Harry will offer insight into the techniques, methods, shortcuts, and distinctive practices that inform his work. The session will combine humour, learning, and live drawing.

Session 3 – As the festive season will nearly be upon us, Barry will present a selection of notable Christmas cartoons, highlighting their humour, wit, and enduring appeal.​

This study day looks at three crucial areas of Scandinavia culture:

• Norse mythology and how it is portrayed in art, landscape painting concentrating on 19th century .
• Danish landscapes and how they were used to create a sense of nation.
• Mid 20th century Scandinavian Modern design.

As will be revealed all of them have surprisingly strong connections to politics and ideology.
