The 2018 BIG DRAW Festival

We're combining TWO great things on the 11th October, the Annual BIG DRAW Festival & School Holidays, to bring you A SPECIAL SCHOOL HOLIDAY DRAWING EVENT ... come PLAY!

Come to our Special BIG DRAW School Holiday Workshop to create your very own series of Animal Calling Cards to take home, hand out or hoard!In a time before telephones & texting everyone who was anyone had a set of Calling Cards - these little cards let friends, acquaintances & even strangers know you had paid them a visit. With a nod to this tradition of old, and a twist involving some domestic & some wild animals, we'll PLAY with this fun concept & make a contemporary collection of cards for you to use when calling on family, friends or foes.
