Sketch Coffee Club

Whether your sketchbook is finished or not yet begun, this coffee morning is for you

The Sketch Coffee Club mornings are monthly relaxed meet-ups designed for the casual or professional artist alike.

Headed by Catriona MacKenzie, who is an artist with vast experience and knowledge both as a fine artist and as a designer/craftsmaker, the sessions will be a fun way to learn techniques; play within your sketchbooks; get support from your peers and discuss themes to develop.

What to expect:

📒 Chat to discuss themes and creation of still life/objects to sketch. This can be broad and loose.

✍️ Time to draw over coffee/tea with our picked theme while gaining advice from Catriona. However, this is not a taught class.

🎨 Peer Advice Break to discuss each other’s sketches as peer support can really help with ideas for taking drawings forward, especially in sketches for a final artwork or for design. Next month’s theme may be decided here for objects to be brought.

✏️ More sketching to finish off if time allows.

Prices:

Standard Ticket: £10.00

Pay What You Can: £2 (or what you can) 

Pay it Forward: £15.00 (you can donate more if you like)
