Friday 10 July – Life Drawing: Stretch & Sketch
Celebrate the sun’s life-giving, energising qualities with a yoga-inspired life drawing workshop by POC-led 2B Or Not 2B Collective. In this clothed life drawing session hosted by Zehra Odunayo, experienced yoga practitioners will explore flowing poses, sun salutations, and more while you draw.
Friday 24 July
Life Drawing: First Woman on the Moon
In this session we will be working with drag performers Goo and Frankie Heartless who will take inspiration from “First Woman on the Moon”, a 1999 performance art film currently on display in The Sun and The Moon. Goo and Frankie Heartless will create their own interpretation of the performance and create outfits and props inspired by the original. The Saatchi Gallery Learning Team will then guide participants through drawing short poses.
How to Draw Invisible Plants: An immersive drawing and journaling workshop with Daniel the Gardener
How would you draw a plant you had never encountered before? In this guided experience, you’ll explore that question through an immersive meditation, soundscape, and a sequence of drawing and journaling prompts. As you imagine the ecological conditions in which your plant might grow, its form and features will gradually emerge on the page.
The exercise is part of Daniel the Gardener’s new book, Beyond Botanical, and the session will unfold across its pages, with dedicated space for drawing, writing and reflection. In order for you to fully engage with the session, copies of the book will be available for you to purchase at the main Saatchi store on the ground floor prior to the session. Each copy will be signed by Daniel with a tiny hand-drawn plant doodle.
No previous drawing experience is required. Complete beginners are welcome, while the process still offers plenty to challenge even the most experienced artists.
Friday 21 August – Make-Your-Own Carnival Headdress
Join us for a vibrant, hands-on workshop where you’ll design and create your own carnival headdress fit for Notting Hill Carnival, guided by artist Blossom Concepts. Known for their bold designs, Blossom Concepts fuse rich colours, intricate craftsmanship, and botanical elements to create show-stopping costumes that embody creativity, cultural pride, and pure joy.
Friday 4 September – Tarot Card Crafting
Explore the history of tarot cards dating back to the oldest surviving set – the 15 decks of the Visconti-Sforza Tarot, painted in the mid-15th century – and then practise your printmaking techniques to design your own tarot deck. This session will be led by Marianna Zoumpliou, a linocut artist inspired by magic and folklore.
More info and additional dates coming soon! We recommend booking your Lates tickets in advance to avoid disappointment.
The Sun and The Moon Lates are supported by Cazenove Capital.
