Welcome to a special daytime edition of Drink & Draw at Carouse Wines - this time with little ones very much invited.
Join Bristol illustrator Jess Knights for a relaxed, creative meet up at Carouse Wines. Carouse is part wine shop and part wine bar in Totterdown, and it's the perfect cosy spot to settle in with a drink in one hand and a pen in the other.
This 1.5 hour session is all about creativity, connection, and doing something for you. Expect playful drawing prompts, fun illustration games, and gentle encouragement to help you loosen up and enjoy the process.
No drawing experience needed and babies can join in (abstract collaborators welcome).
What to expect:
Playful drawing challenges and creative prompts to spark your imagination
Friendly guidance and encouragement from local illustrator Jess Knights
A welcome drink from the Carouse bar to ease you into drawing
A friendly atmosphere - babies are completely welcome!
All art materials provided.
Non alcoholic options will be available, and there’s absolutely no expectation to drink - just come as you are. A chance to get out of the house, meet other grown ups, and get creative together in the middle of the day.
Age restrictions: 0+
| Adult (Includes welcome Drink (choose a glass of wine or a beer, cider, soft or hot drink)) | £16.50 |
| Child | Free |
Please arrive at 2.30pm to grab your drink and get comfortable before we begin drawing games at 2.45pm.
All materials will be provided, and there’s no need to bring any drawing supplies - just yourself!
We recommend wearing something you don’t mind getting a little bit of pen or pencil on, just in case creativity gets messy.
Carouse Wines is located on Oxford Street, Totterdown, with on-street parking in the car park across the walkway and good bus links from central Bristol.
Originally from Essex, Jess has been living in the South West for four years. She now calls Bristol home - its lovely nature spots, amazing eateries and buzzing creative scene were too good to resist!
Jess studied BA Illustration at Camberwell College of Art. After graduating with a first degree she moved into a career in creative promotions within the hospitality & environmental industry. She's worked for all kinds of cool brands like Pieminister, Parched Pub Company and Forestry England.
This creative always stays busy, if she's not making gorgeous seasonal veg calendars or cocktail illustrations for your home, she's collaborating with local eateries, or hosting exhibitions as a member of the South West Art Collective. Meeting new people and sharing each other's stories is what makes Jess smile.
