Help the Usher Gallery create the People's Papestry with guidance from local artist Matt D. Wright - @Matandhiscat
See Matt's 6-meter Papestry work in Gallery 7, then visit the workshop to draw your own Papestry-inspired drawing and add it to our collaborative artwork! Draw a building of your own with guidance from Matt and the Usher Gallery learning team.
In this event, you will be invited to draw on paper using handwriting and fine-liner pens, then cut out your picture and stick it to the collaborative artwork paper.
This may be challenging if you have difficulty with hand dexterity, but Matt and our instructor Rachel will be there to lend a hand. The space may be noisy with other children and adults in the space. If you struggle with loud noises, the gallery has noise-cancelling headphones and fidget toys available.

About The Papestry
For nearly a year, thousands have watched in awe as architectural illustrator Matt D.Wright (@Matandhiscat) draws the city’s famous Bailgate and Steep Hill area, brick by brick.
Armed with just a trusty set of pens and a 25 foot roll of paper, Matt has been creating his own tribute to the Bayeux Tapestry: a continuous pen drawing of one of Lincoln’s most picturesque and historically significant areas. Called the ‘Papestry’, Matt’s labour of love recreates every brick, tile and shop front in intricate detail, stretching from Lincoln County Assembly rooms on the Bailgate to The Rest Hotel on Steep Hill. The work is a precious time capsule of social history, celebrating Lincoln, it's people, and centuries of stunning architecture and history.
