About the Project
Born from a love of place and a fascination with detail, Drawn to Newcastleis a growing collection of hand-drawn postcards that highlight the personality of our town’s buildings and businesses. Each piece is made with care using traditional techniques, drawing attention to the everyday beauty often overlooked.
Workshops are open to all ages and abilities — with opportunities to design your own postcard, learn about drawing techniques, and share stories of Newcastle past and present.
