Come by for a chat with one of Lithgow’s favourite sons John Barnes. He is an artist, author and historian whose extraordinary architectural drawings have featured in many exhibitions. With a wealth of knowledge about our local history and a new book in progress, John has many stories to tell. Our current exhibition includes his work and that of others who have captured our historic architecture. John will let us in on the fascinating histories behind the buildings represented in the exhibition. He’ll tell us about his life in drawing and inspire you to start creating work yourself. John will teach the secret of drawing perspective.

Enjoy access to Eskbank House Museum’s beautiful grounds and buildings. Complimentary tea, coffee and delicious scones from Bill’s Old Fashioned Cakes and Pies will be served.

John will be selling copies of his published works. This is a great opportunity to pick up a signed copy or get your existing copy signed.
