Big Draw at Fenners

Hard to believe this is the third year that we have run a Big Draw at Fenners.  This year it is on the 1st and 2nd November and the theme is The Day of the Dead, part of Letchworth's exciting Fire and Fright Festival taking place this month.

Digswell artists will be running workshops over the two days, including Sarah Bellisario, Debbie Bent, Amanda Bloom, Christine Harrison, Abu Jafar, Lizzy Lane, Helen Mason, John Vincent, and myself.  There will be mosaics, felt, masks, acrylic paint, shadows, wire and of course a range of traditional drawing tools and equipment.  

All of the workshops are free, drop-in events and are suitable for everybody although children do need to be accompanied by an adult.

It's always pleasing the range of people who come, from complete beginners to professional artists.  Last year we welcomed toddlers as well as pensioners (and obviously people in between).

Here are details about some of the other events happening throughout this month as part of the Family Arts Festival and Big Draw - in Letchworth and throughout the UK.
