Autumn Sketching with The Bold Collective
Tues 3 Oct, 6 - 8pm at The Alchemy Experiment
Bold Collective are welcoming Fall with an Autumnal sketching session at The Alchemy Experiment.
For Under 25s.
We’re diving head-first into the warm and vibrant hues of the season. Our drawing workshop is the perfect excuse to sip on some hot coffee (or tea or hot chocolate!), soak in the crisp air, and let your creative juices flow.
No skills or previous experience needed, just your love for art and the autumn vibes. Materials, cake and coffee will be provided.
This event is free for attendees thanks to our Young Start funding from the National Lottery.
