Up to early 2020, we continued to visit the British Museum Prints and Drawings Study room usually once a month, with occasional visits to the Prints and Drawings Study Room at the Victoria and Albert Museum, for a change and when the British Museum could not accommodate us.

While we were on the MA Drawing course at Wimbledon College of Arts, we had the opportunity to visit the  Department and to study items from their collection. This is something that is open to any member of the public but few people know about it. We have continued this connection as a group to enable us to explore the collection’s breadth and depth. We are greatly helped by Isobel Seligman and Sarah Jaffray, who work on the Bridget Riley Art Foundation exhibition project ‘Lines of Thought’ and aim to widen access to the collection. They both have an immense knowledge of drawing and prints, and help us select further pieces relevant to our interests.
