Intro

Each month we meet to draw together around Huddersfield town centre, recording what we see on the day with our own art materials. All levels of drawing experience & confidence are welcome but please note this is an UN-tutored event & you will be required to draw independently.

January meet details

Join us for our third meeting - this month taking place at an indoor venue which gives great views of one of Huddersfield's architectural gems - the Queensgate Indoor Market.

As part of the session we will also be able to draw for 10 to 15 minutes on the first floor balcony which overlooks Huddersfield ring road, with great views to the buildings opposite. This is a sheltered outdoor location but we advise checking the forecast & wrapping up warm anyway!

Booking is ESSENTIAL for this session as spaces are limited.
