Join artist Sam Barnes to draw, explore, laugh and enjoy an amazing 2 course meal together. Her events are welcoming, light-hearted and full of confidence-inducing exercises that everyone can take part in.
Sam is a specialist in engaging people to draw, particularly those that haven’t done any for years. Drawing is good for everyone. It’s fun, cheap and a great way to connect with others.
Meals are prepared and cooked by Hannah Chapman, resident chef of Firstsite.
