SKETCH & EXPLORE WITH ME
In July I am hosting 2 new 'Sketch & Explore' sessions to walk and sketch with me. These are informal teaching sessions where I am sharing the joys of sketching outside. It's a session where there are no expectations - just the opportunity to sketch as part of a group and receive help and advice from myself and from each other. These 2 sessions are being run free of charge. Please read T&Cs and check the FAQs - if you have other questions do get in touch.

Online workshop - booking closed
‘Creative Sketchbooks’. This is a workshop in which I take you and your sketchbook on a journey of discovery as you join me live online for 3 workshop sessions exploring your creativity. Using nature as a prompt I’ll be guiding you through the process I use when I work in one of my ‘creative’ concertina sketchbooks; you will get over 6 hours of teaching which will take place over 3 x 2.5 hour sessions using Zoom. As free bonus I will (technology permitting!) be recording the sessions * so that each attendee can get a chance to see the session again and work through it at their own pace. * Please see T&C's |
