Tracing Tales Episode 6: Drawing Workshop with Musician Henry Webster

We invite you to our table for an informal drawing session and folk music workshop to visually interpret music and movement, and with imagination, approach themes of folklore and storytelling.

This workshop is intended to open up the space for more interpretive drawing styles than classical life drawing, and to create an inclusive space for all drawing abilities.

In Episode 6, we are excited to invite Henry Webster, an award-winning fiddle player, violinist and composer based in London.

Growing up in Oxfordshire, Henry was immersed in equally vibrant classical and English folk music scenes; his latest project brings together his continued love of both these worlds. Drawing particular inspiration from the likes of J.S. Bach, Ysaye and the traditional music that has danced through Europe for hundreds of years, his compositions for solo violin aim to speak from the heart while being free of ego; both transcending the day-to-day and grounding the audience in the present moment.

Particular thanks to the Atlantic Centre for The Arts, New Smyrna Beach, Florida for providing time and space to begin this adventure and to Jeremy Kittel for his generous and expert guidance and inspiration.

Join us to experience the incredible musical craftsmanship of Henry Webster and create your own artistic expressions of his work on paper.
