We provide a full range of materials – pencils, charcoal, paper, drawing boards, pastels, and rubbers – so you can get started straight away. Feel free to bring along any of your own favourite tools or sketchbooks too.

The vibe:

Relaxed, cosy, and welcoming. This is a space for everyone: curious beginners, seasoned sketchers, and anyone who simply wants to spend time drawing in good company.

Practical details:

Doors open at 6:15pm for a prompt 6:30pm start.
