Leeds historical tour and gallery draw


Come with us on a tour around historic Leeds as inspiration for an art workshop at Cole’s Gallery




Sunday Feb 18, 1-4pm,


We have a great afternoon planned full of Leeds history and art. 


The event is run by Clifford Stead and Joss Cole here at Cole’s Gallery 
We will meet at Cole’s Gallery and be treated to a historical tour by Cliff, focusing on unique architecture, public art, historic retail and transport. 


The plan is to take images, sketches and inspiration from the tour to make some original artworks in the gallery in the afternoon. The art workshop will focus on experimental collage and drawing responding to the tour and gallery surroundings. A great opportunity for beginner artists, the curious and regular hobbyists wanting to try something new.
