A PLACE TO DRAW
Sketchy Drawing Club. We host relaxed drawing sessions — life drawing, portraits classes, local Sketchpeditions.
Turn up, draw for a bit, switch off, get better without overthinking it.
It’s for people who love drawing, haven’t drawn in years, or just want something different to do in the evening.
No experience needed. No pressure. No judgement. No worries.
OUR SESSIONS
L
Life-Drawing
Our untutored life drawing sessions are open to everyone—no experience needed. Each relaxed, two-hour session includes a mix of short and longer poses with a professional nude model, helping you build observational skills at your own pace, with optional guidance from session leaders. We provide hot drinks and biscuits—just bring your own materials. Sessions are run on a not-for-profit basis to cover room and model costs. 18+ only.
P
Portraiture
Our untutored portrait drawing sessions are open to all abilities—no experience needed. Each relaxed, two-hour session features a live model with a mix of shorter and longer poses, giving you the chance to build confidence and develop your observational skills at your own pace, with optional guidance from session leaders — just bring your own materials. Sessions are run on a not-for-profit basis to cover room and model costs.
S
Sketchpeditions
Our local sketchpeditions are relaxed, social drawing meets open to everyone—no experience needed. We head out to sketch interesting spots around the area, taking in the surroundings and drawing whatever catches your eye, at your own pace. There’s no formal teaching, just a friendly group and the option to share tips and ideas. Bring your own materials and something to sit on if you like. All ages are welcome, and dogs too.
E
Events
Our special events are all about mixing things up and having a bit of fun with drawing. These sessions might include guest artist tutors, the chance to try new materials. How about themed nights? like "Sketching Queen" drawing to ABBA, or even a "Sketchy rave" for our sketchy firestarters. They’re a great way to try something different, meet people, and keep things fresh. Drawing should always be fun.
