Well let me start by saying that Jess is an incredible host. She knows her role as facilitator is to make βartβ (for non-artists like me) fun, playful and just downright fine to be not very good at it. The activities she led us through were quite simply creative yet fun, simple yet challenging, made you think yet made you relax too. Quite a talent to be able to evoke all of this in one session. If youβre doubting for one min if you want to do this with your friends, two words for youβ¦book it!
Such a chilled, enjoyable and fun creative evening. Jess was full of positive energy and kept things pacey but not pressured. A great group, we seemed to gel well and Carouse is a relaxed and happy venue for this sort of activity..Top marks all round!!!
We went as a group to celebrate a birthday. Had a fab time. Even though we went as a group it felt a lovely social event with everyone chatting and interacting. Would really recommend. Great fun!
The evening was super relaxed and lots of fun. Jess the host was super welcoming. The venue was fab. Would recommend!
Jess is so vibrant and knows how to get people enthousiastic and I loved Carouse - such a cute bar!
Fun evening hosted by Jess. Lovely relaxed space and delicious wine. Jess did a great job of creating a fun atmosphere and guided us through a series of easy to follow drawing activities to break the ice. My friends and I came away from the workshop laughing with smiles on our faces - thanks Jess!
Please arrive at 5.45pm to grab your drink and get comfortable before we begin drawing games at 6pm.
All materials will be provided, and thereβs no need to bring any drawing supplies - just yourself!
We recommend wearing something you donβt 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.
