Create, Draw, Meet

A relaxed, informal, creative meet up for all!

Join us for a cuppa, biscuit and chat whilst delving into a creative pursuit for an hour or so, including drawing, painting, collaging, embroidering or knitting. All materials are available to use, but you’re welcome to bring your own equipment and tools. This meet up is open to all, especially those new to these artistic processes. Your facilitator, Keren, will be on hand to help and provide her expertise where needed.

This meet up is open to anyone, and participants are welcome to attend for as much time as they choose- be it the full two and a half hours or as a creative & social break when working from home. All materials are provided though you’re welcome to bring your own. This is a ‘pay what you feel’ event to ensure there are no financial barriers.

If you have any questions about the class or booking, please get in touch – info@poplarunion.com / 020 3039 3333.
