About us
If you have ever wanted to pick up a pencil but felt intimidated by the idea of formal art classes, this is the place for you. We are a group of people who simply enjoy the process of putting lines on paper without any pressure to produce a masterpiece. Whether you have never sketched before or are just looking for a relaxed environment to practice, you will find a welcoming space here where the focus is on experimentation and community rather than technical perfection.
Our meetups are straightforward and low-key. We find a quiet spot, grab a coffee or a seat in the park, and spend an hour or two sketching whatever catches our eye. There is no curriculum or critiqueβjust a group of folks hanging out, sharing tips if we feel like it, and enjoying the quiet focus of drawing together. Bring whatever sketchbook and pencils you have on hand, and come join us for a session of messy, stress-free sketching.
