FREE entry, all welcome.
In 2022, The Big Draw Festival #ComeBackToColour is a love letter to each other and the world around us. The theme encapsulates what we all hope will be a rediscovery of the vitality, health, care and vibrancy in everyone’s lives after what has been a challenging last few years.
This is a great year to capture, celebrate and find joy in the colours that surround us in nature, in our family culture and heritage, through experimentation and more! Join in and be part of The World’s Biggest community of drawing enthusiasts!
Use this workshop to create your colourful lantern for the next evening – Listers Lanterns!
Artist Morwenna Catt will help you to create your own large pyramid lantern. Decorate in your own style or take inspiration from Morwenna’s very distinctive illustration. Splash colour everywhere and ENJOY.
This workshop is now fully booked. We are taking reserve bookings but cannot promise a place.
