The group, which offers a space to get together, make stuff, draw and reconnect with outdoor spaces, has been meeting in the Riverside Park area since September 2022.
Organisers say it offers informal and relaxed sessions open to all men, with no previous experience of drawing and making necessary.
The group has run exhibitions at October Books and God’s House Tower, and created public art at Swaythling railway station.
The first new session will take place on Monday, April 22 from 11-2pm meeting on the bench outside The Old Chemist, Bitterne Park Triangle, 16 Manor Farm Road, SO18 1N. The session will take place in Riverside Park over lunchtime, so participants are invited to bring along some sandwiches!
