“We relish eating and drinking to socialise, talk and laugh but it’s rare to do so whilst gazing at paintings and even more sensual to experience them as they take shape. It’s rarer still to get so many like-minded individuals passionate about the Arts around a table to be an artwork’s subject matter and consume its energy. This gathering will share a rampant finale of image making and a celebration of Paint, live and in the flesh.”
