Drawing Circus Photo-Set: Paddock Studios

Added 2022-06-03 09:01:01 +0000 UTC

Back in the summer of 2017 the Drawing Circus was touring far and wide and on our return to Sussex we stopped off at the nearby Paddock Studio in Lewes. For anybody who doesn't know the well-to-do areas of the rural South East of England, the Lewesians have a subversive streak, with a history rebellious political traditions and a penchant for effigy burning. The town has a vibrant community of artists and by popular demand for one day only we bought the 'Circus to town. The days drawing centred around a rendition of the Fall of the Drawing Circus in the comforting embrace of the Paddock's wooden beamed studio interior, serenaded by the three-piece Drawchestra, with me in story-teller's guise, keeping time. One day we will return to touring, but the time is still not quite right yet. Until then, we leave you with these memories in photographic form, to bring back to life in your drawings. Enjoy.
