We welcome all backgrounds and abilities​.
Whether you’re just starting out, returning to art, or have experience with technique,
we’re here to help you develop your skills and grow as an artist.
Would you like to dedicate one afternoon a week to just drawing?
Are you seeking some “me time” and a space where you can focus on developing your drawing skills, and exploring your inner artist?
Drawing at home on your own often comes with a few challenges. You might find yourself easily distracted by a text notification, spending more time organising your pencils than actually using them, or hesitating to make that first mark. Perhaps you’ve started sketching only to feel discouraged because it doesn’t turn out the way you envisioned, leaving you unsure of what to do next.
We have design our Saturday afternoons to be a safe and welcoming space where you can develop your own artistic practice at your own pace disconnected from the world fully immersing yourself in the joy of drawing.
