Sensory Drawing Feast

Dear Guests, Welcome to our Sensory Drawing Feast, where art and food come together in an extraordinary way! In this unique experience, we invite you to immerse yourself in the world of drawing with your senses, swapping forks and knives for graphite and charcoal. Smell the aroma, touch the texture, and observe the form. Together, we will create our own plates of food by drawing with different senses.

Whether you’re a seasoned artist or a curious beginner, this workshop is designed to help you uncover new ways of interpreting still-life drawings, enhance your creativity, and discover the style that resonates with you. As we draw on the dinner table together, guests are invited to fill their plates with sketches of still-life objects, borrowing and sharing with one another.

We’ll be drawing from a range of delectable fruits and vegetables curated by the hosts, so please let us know if you have any allergies. Make sure you arrive 10 minutes before the feast begins. Light refreshments and a drink are included in your ticket. There will be alcoholic and non-alcoholic options.
