LORENZO NASSIMBENI

LINEWORK is a dynamic series of online interactive freehand drawing workshops led by architect and conceptual artist Lorenzo Nassimbeni. Designed for architects, designers across disciplines, and artists—whether seasoned professionals or curious students —LINEWORK offers a unique space to explore architectural and artistic concepts through the liberating medium of freehand drawing.

Each workshop has its own unique theme. Participants draw live during each session, uncovering unexpected insights and honing their skills under Lorenzo’s guidance. Whether you are looking to refine your drawing techniques or rekindle your passion for drawing, we invite you to join our workshops and embark on a creative journey filled with discovery and inspiration. 

CPD points are available for all SACAP-registered professionals. Each workshop is worth 1 CPD point.
