Whether you are picking up a pencil for the first time or are an accomplished artist, these welcoming sessions offer an opportunity to draw in a relaxed Gallery environment. All experience levels are welcome, and drawing materials are provided with thanks to our partner, Gordon Harris: The Art & Graphic Store.
Sessions are free and offered on a first-come, first-served basis. As these sessions are popular, entry cannot be guaranteed once capacity is reached.
Session times
Two 40-minute drop-in sessions are available each Friday, unless otherwise advertised:
Session 1: 11:30am to 12:10pm
Session 2: 12:20 to 1pm
To help more people take part, please attend one session only.
