A pop-up event hosted by Tess Smith-Roberts.
The event will feature an exhibition, a pop-up shop, and a drop-in drawing workshop inspired by a carefully arranged still life setting.
During the workshop, visitors can enjoy drawing and collage-making while surrounded by a setup featuring gingham tablecloths, food, flowers, candles, and more. Tess will provide optional drawing exercises, or you can simply draw or create a collage from the scene in front of you at your own pace.
Paper and drawing materials will be provided, though you are welcome to bring your own favorite supplies. The workshop is open throughout the event hours, so feel free to join whenever you like. Alongside the workshop, the space will showcase Tess’s food illustrations and offer a selection of her original merchandise for purchase.
The event and workshop are free to attend.
