Dog Life Drawing
You’re probably here because you either love drawing or you love dogs, and if that’s the case, then this might just be the perfect event for you.
Welcome to Dog Life Drawing classes with artist Cai Burton at The Crafty Egg on Church Road.
Join this art class with a difference and get to know your fluffy models with a tail who just love scratches, pets and treats. Each class will feature multiple dogs of all shapes and sizes - expect snorting flat faces, long legs, tight curls and waggy tails. Try to keep up with the dogs movements and capture a variety of sketches, or spend longer on timed exercises led by artist Cai Burton.
Classes are fun and relaxed with the opportunity to move around and see different dogs. Get to know the owners and play with the pups during the break. Share your work afterwards and see how other artists of all skill levels capture these furry friends.
Cai will guide you through the session, introducing you to the class with structured warm ups and moving you around the space. Despite this, classes are still relaxed with the opportunity to move around as you see fit.
Drinks will be available from the bar and chilled music will help set the tone.
Entry requirements: 14+, any under 18s accompanied by 21+ adult 1:1 ratio

No Bad Plates: Painting Party
ONE HOT DRINK (OR A SOFT DRINK) IS INCLUDED IN THE PRICE

The aim is to encourage people who are not confident with painting, or haven't done it in a while, to give it a go without worrying about creating their best work; it's all about having fun in the moment and making memories with friends.
The workshop will run for approximately two hours with a quick break in the middle and we will be close to the bar so you are welcome to buy extra drinks at any point. All painting materials will be provided; no experience needed.
The bar will remain open after the event has finihsed so feel free to stick around and have a chat and a drink with your friends (or new friends you've made).

Sam Tudor, Laura Reznek & Anwen
Over from across the pond for one night only is the incredible Sam Tudor, joined by friends Anwen and Laura Reznek for a night of indie folk goodness.
Sam Tudor is both an individual and a project involving a group of friends in Canada. The underpinnings of the songs are genre-less; jazz players join forces with Eno inspired beats while acoustic guitars meet distorted synths. What unifies the project is Tudor’s distinct voice: a sandy, melancholic narrator, leaning in close with confessional and cathartic writing. The band’s live show is reverent and at times bombastic - a celebration of community done with an easy virtuosity born from years playing music together.
Laura Reznek is a Canadian singer/songwriter and multi-instrumentalist whose smoky soprano and piano-driven songs give life to a cast of characters you might not always want to meet.
Anwen is a London-born singer songwriter living in Bristol as a student. Blending jazz, folk and indie music to create her own unique sound, Anwen writes about friendship, nature and love. Her debut single 'Song for Friends' is out now.
Free entry!
