CREATIVE juices were flowing at Rugby Art Gallery and Museum on Saturday.

The annual Big Draw event, which aims to encourage everyone to draw, saw a host of free, fun activities to inspire creative minds.

Children's book illustrator Jess Mikhail read from her books, led drawing and craft activities, and signed copies of her work.

Artist Michaela McMillan helped visitors draw with thread at Splendid Silhouettes, while fellow artist Kate Morris encouraged visitors to experiment with crayons and fabric, creating rubbings which can also be decorated with drawings, sewing or appliqué.
