We are delighted to be taking part in The Big Draw!
On Saturday 10th October between 10 and 12, we are inviting visitors to pick up a pencil and draw either an item on display in the shop or, on the theme “A Day in the Life of...”.
All drawings will be put on display in the shop throughout October.
The Big Draw is the Campaign for Drawing’s flagship, with some 1300 drawing events across the UK each October. This month-long season celebrates creativity and encourages experiment and enjoyment uniting people of all ages, abilities and cultures.
The Big Draw extends the vocabulary of drawing and challenges conventions and preconceptions. It shows how pencil, pen, chalk or the computer mouse can inspire observation, imagination and invention. Drawing connects us with our environment and helps us to see, think and communicate.
The Big Draw is the UK’s biggest free visual art programme, annually involving over 300,000 participants aged 3-93.
Since 2000,The Big Draw has encouraged over two million people back to the drawing board and notched up two Guinness World records. Details of all Big Draw events can be seen at:
