We are running drawing workshops in St. Pauls and on Stokes Croft for thirteen weeks starting on Saturday 21st May 2010 in the Stokes Croft festival, at the Emporium gallery on Stokes Croft where we will be having a drop in draw on paper on the walls.
From then on we will be running four workshops a week.
The one on Saturdays in the Emporium gallery Stokes Croft will be open to whoever wants to come by and draw with us. In the Amana Educational Trust in St. Pauls at there will be a workshop from 11am every Monday until 12.30, one for Big Issue vendors in the Big Issue office, Stokes Croft on Tuesdays from 2 to 3.30pm, and finally one for young teenagers in Full Circle from 5pm to 6.30pm on Tuesdays.
Our basic reason for doing these workshops is to help people to enjoy and develop their drawing. We will have fun with drawing games, go outside and draw the neighbourhood, conduct drawing experiments and focus on a project for a final group exhibition which will involve all four groups to be held in Hamilton House in mid September. It is our belief that anyone can draw. If you want to draw just draw. It can be a very rewarding thing to do.
The Doodle Draw community project is being funded by the Bristol City Council's Arts, Festivals and Events Service.
