About Us
We believe that the experience of hands-on creation should be accessible to anyone and that drawing is not a skill reserved for art making but is an essential part of communication and perceiving the world.
The Berlin Drawing Room was founded in 2011 when American artist Mira O’Brien decided to offer the first Drawing Workshop in her studio. Since then, the offerings have expanded to include a variety of workshops with a focus on drawing, painting and printmaking. We continue to branch out by collaborating with other organizations, such as the Prinzessinnengarten and the Museum für Naturkunde Berlin, and bringing additional artists into our team.
What makes our workshops unique?
Artist-Instructors:
The artists that teach for us are what make our workshops really special. We work with professional artists that bring insights from their own studio practices directly into the classes they teach. Highly specialized knowledge, like how the 26 bones in a human foot create balance in movement or that a fig is an inverted flower containing a wasp corpse, derived from artistic research gives our workshops a rich texture.
Online Workshops:
We offer interactive, livestreaming online workshops with an emphasis on personal feedback and a lively group dynamic. Perfect for anyone wanting to join from the comfort of their own home or studio, yet still wanting a personal connection.
Studio Workshops:
We offer in-person workshops in various locations throughout Berlin, Germany. We also have pop-up workshops outside of Berlin.
