Visitors to Bath's Victoria Art Gallery can "take a line for a walk" to create their own masterpieces as part of Bath & North East Somerset Council's Heritage Open Week.

Everyone is welcome to join in with the Gallery's free drop-in event on Saturday 27 October (11am to 4pm), which is based upon the artist Paul Klee's famous description of drawing as "Taking a line for a walk."

Councillor Cherry Beath (Lib-Dem, Combe Down), Cabinet Member for Sustainable Development, said: "This is a wonderful opportunity to bring art to life and help more people to get involved in creative activities. Bath & North East Somerset Council welcomes people to be inspired by the Victoria Art Gallery's collection – particularly Paul Klee's 'Small Harbour Scene' paintings – to create their own magical scenes and strange sea creatures at this fun event."

All materials are provided and a friendly tutor is on hand to lead you through a range of enjoyable drawing activities which are designed to take your pencil for a walk.
