Relaxed evening of guided sketching with wildlife artist Tom Middleton, with wine, cheese and nibbles, with materials provided.
Tom Middleton is leading a guided sketching evening at Baruccio on Thursday 12 November, starting at 19:30. It's a relaxed one: Middleton, an award-winning wildlife artist, runs the session, and the whole thing is open to anyone, even if you've never picked up a pencil before. All the materials are provided, so you just need to turn up.
The sketching is paired with wine, cheese and nibbles, and the evening is pitched as a low-pressure way to spend a Thursday night. Middleton's background is in wildlife art, and he'll be guiding you through the process, so it's as much about the company as the drawing. It's the kind of thing that works whether you're there to actually learn a bit or just to have a drink and a chat while you doodle.
Baruccio is an independent Italian café and wine bar on Holywell Hill, and this fits right in with what they do. They run guided wine tastings and the odd food pop-up, so a night of sketching and wine is very much their territory. If you're driving in, there's parking nearby at London Road Car Park, Christopher Place and Keyfield Terrace.
