Enjoy a chance to unwind in the peaceful surroundings of an 18th century chapel as you learn simple drawing exercises.
A reflective afternoon with Bristol artist Simon Tozer, followed by a cream tea. Workshops with illustrator Simon are back by popular demand.
Simon has a special interest in drawing and sketching his surroundings. Over the last few years he has made many drawings of Bristol, close to his studio in the Old City. Drawing the life of Bristol has become a valued part of his practice, being an activity that briefly creates a quiet space of focus amid the noise and bustle of the city.
Don’t worry if you don’t have any experience, it’s a chance to try something new in a safe, relaxing space.

Each workshop runs from 2-4pm and includes:
- Welcome and initial drawing exercises.
- Time spent drawing, with guidance and encouragement from Simon
