About the event
Come and find me at House of Books & Friends for a relaxed morning of live portrait drawing. Watch as I create portraits in real time, and pick up one of my handmade art greeting cards to take home — each one a little world of its own.
Drop in whenever you like, stay as long as you want. There's no agenda — just art, books, and good company.
