Maybe you want to loosen up, learn to draw, paint, write, collage, experiment...a sketchbook is the place for all that and more!
During this session we will explore sketchbook formats, ways to work and inspirations, barriers and the curse of perfectionism!
We will also get drawing! This drawing workshop is brilliant if you have never drawn before, maybe a bit scared, don't know where to start or an experienced artist looking for new ground.
Fun, Friendly and Welcoming!
This is a great workshop for all levels from non-drawer to experienced sketcher and everyone in between! If you prefer to trace and colour, there is a tracing page included in the downloads pack which is a nice option if you'd prefer to concentrate on growing confident using a brush and paint to colour!
There's lots of small, fun tasks to work on after the workshop to keep you going with your sketchbook habit!
By using a sketchbook to record life's events, big and small or as a safe place to experiment and find your inner artist, you can learn a lot about yourself whilst developing your own creative skills.

Pam
I just want to thank you for the seed packet class ... I've dabbled in watercolours for decades but your instruction gave me my "aha" moment! You made the process so less intimidating and overwhelming by breaking it down into smaller, doable pieces. In doing the sketching and painting along with you, it freed my creativity and desire to make art. It really was a meditative two hours for me.
Just a note to say thank you for the for the class last night. You gave us some really useful starters and I like the 'you cannot go wrong and if you do just paint/paper over it' approach. The classes are helping me to feel interested again in what I am doing and spurring me on to do more, so, a big 'thank you' for that too.
Lucia Leyfield
Lucia is an artist, letterer and teacher who loves creating illustrated journals and artist books. She has become known for a unique and creative approach to her work which has been described as 'quietly joyful...a nostalgic, moving and profound ...a treasure chest of creativity and inspiration'
Her journals and sketchbooks, which record life as it happens, conversations, inspirations and experiments, have become works of art in their own right. Many of Lucia's sketchbooks are handmade with a range of papers and combine traditional and experimental hand lettering with watercolour, collage and mixed media sketches.
She is inspired by a diverse range of things: the old, rusty and wonky, worn architectural patinas, ancient diagrams, aged buildings, old books and ephemera, explorers' sketchbooks and vintage field guides.
