Royal Drawing School
https://royaldrawingschool.org/Royal Drawing School (RDS) is an independent, not‑for‑profit educational organisation and registered charity based in Shoreditch, London. RDS teaches observational drawing at all levels and, by its 25th anniversary, was running more than 350 courses annually, from drop‑in sessions to its postgraduate programme, the Drawing Year.
The School is based at Shoreditch Studios, a converted 19th-century warehouse on Charlotte Road comprising four drawing studios, a basement intaglio print room, the ground-floor Maria Manetti Shrem Gallery Studios, and a digital studio for live-streamed teaching, with step-free access and hearing loops in all teaching spaces.
It was founded in 2000 by HM King Charles III (then Prince of Wales) and artist Catherine Goodman as the Prince’s Drawing School; the school received permission to adopt its current name in 2014.
