As part of the national 'Big Draw' campaign, local artist Sam Dalby will be helping visitors to create their perfect room. Sam says, 'I will be asking people to fill in the details of their ideal room in part of a large empty house, for example with posters, ornaments, toys, pets, family members etc. We want people to be as creative as they like and no drawing experience is necessary'. All ages are welcome, but children must be accompanied. |
