Three drawing artists, Colette Lilley @colettelilley Jon Barraclough @j0ni0la and Sarah Jane Richards @walk.draw.paint have been invited by Fiona Filby and the Bridewell Studios and Gallery to come together for a three‑week drawing residency, transforming the gallery into a working studio and a site for conversation and reflection. Throughout the residency we’ll be developing new work, hosting impromptu exhibitions, and opening our studios to visitors. We invite the public to drop in, see work in progress, and join us in exploring what drawing can be today as practice, as process and as a shared experience.
