About this event

This year's Big Draw theme is "Drawn Together," and we couldn't think of a better way to bring our community together than through the joy of creativity. Whether you're a seasoned artist or haven't picked up a pen since school, this event is for everyone!

Come and spend a delightful session doodling, painting, or collaging your favourite things about our beloved village of Appledore in North Devon. What makes Appledore special to you?

We'll provide a friendly, relaxed atmosphere and a range of materials to get your creative juices flowing. This is a chance to:

Connect with your community: Share stories and observations about Appledore with fellow residents and visitors.

Express your love for the village: Capture the essence of Appledore through your own artistic lens.

Unleash your inner artist: Experiment with different techniques and discover the joy of making marks.

Be part of a global celebration: Contribute to The Big Draw Festival, the world's largest celebration of drawing!

Join our mark-making and watercolour workshops, where you can slow down and immerse yourself in nature in a mindful and expressive way. These summer sessions are designed for absolute beginners and those looking to enhance their creative practice with a looser approach. Together, we'll cultivate a deeper awareness of our surroundings, fostering creativity and a renewed sense of environmental responsibility. Come connect with fellow creatives in this inspiring space!
