Artist and poet Sophie Herxheimer will listen to your story, before live drawing and writing an ink & brush synthesis of what she has heard.

Each interaction will take 10-15 minutes, and once dry copies will be available to take away with you.

Sophie has collected over 1200 stories, and sees each narrator as an honoured, if fleeting, collaborator.
