Doodlebury / Immersive Drawing Event at The Island

A event held at The Island on Saturday 29th February. The event starts at 12:00.


Sharpen your pencils and grab your sketchpads - you’re invited to a one-off, immersive drawing event. Inspired by goings-on in the fictional town of Doodlebury, this creative super-workshop is for those who love to draw and tell stories with pictures.

During the afternoon, artists can drop in and out of as many creative challenges as they like. Try your hand at drawing Doodlebury residents, create a comic strip, or tell tales from the town’s high rises.

There are no rules, no pressure and everyone is welcome. Suitable for anyone who wants to improve their drawing, be challenged, get in touch with their imaginations or simply lose themselves in a creative bubble for the afternoon.

Leading the tour around Doodlebury, a team of top Bristol illustrators will be on hand to offer help, advice and creative prompts.

Doodlebury is brought to you by illustration trio Froglump, PIP and The AOI.

Venue: The Island / Main Gallery, Nelson St, Bristol BS1 2LE (entrance on Bridewell Street)
Time: Noon - 6pm (drop-in anytime / recommended 1-2 hours)
