Inspired by our Superheroes of Leeds project, this session with artist Herfa Thompson focused on self portraiture and drawing bodies.
In this drawing session for adults we celebrated ourselves and loved ones in a fun and creative way.
Art materials were provided so participants could just book, turn up, grab a drink at our bar and get creative.
Drink & draw is The Tetley’s regular series of live drawing events, inviting you to get creative in a relaxed, sociable atmosphere.
Herfa Thompson is a London-born artist, currently based in Leeds. She studied Sculpture and Environmental Art at The Glasgow School of Art. Having grown up in Southern Africa, Thompson experienced frustration that her return to the UK was not made to feel like a return home. Her work explores a world where brown bodies are peacefully and joyfully existing, referencing nostalgic memories of her time in Africa and Martinique, as well as exploring the relationship between humans and bodies of water.
