Are you ready to learn to draw the old fashioned way?

Originally published in 1905, Freehand Pattern Drawing offers a taste of how art classes were over a hundred years ago.

With the help of 32 ornate designs taken from the collection of South Kensington Museum, learn how to copy and compose patterns, mastering motifs from tiles, reliefs, carving and exotic textiles before attempting trickier natural forms.

Set out with extra blank pages for practising each exercise, Freehand Pattern Drawing offers both a fascinating insight into Edwardian teaching and a challenging and original way to brush up on your own artistic skills.
