— A Creative Drawing Meetup in London —

# 🖼 Overview

Bring your sketchbooks!

Diary Drawing Club (DD Club) is a London-based meet-up where creativity and emotional reflection come together.

We meet every other week to explore our inner worlds through drawing, in a calm and welcoming space.

You don’t need to be a trained artist — just someone with a genuine interest in drawing and self-expression.

If you've ever wanted to express your thoughts or emotions through images, or if you’ve quietly filled sketchbooks and longed to share them with others, this space is for you.

Whether you’re a lifelong doodler, a reflective creator, or someone captivated by the idea of visual journaling — you’re warmly invited.

Come join us, and let's draw our stories together.

# 📋 Purpose

• Reconnect with your inner voice through drawing
• Express thoughts, feelings, memories — or simply share what you’ve created
• Find support and inspiration in a creative community

# 🎨 What We Do

### 🖍 1:00 PM – 2:00 PM | Inner Drawing Time

• We begin with a simple prompt related to emotions or personal experiences.

(e.g. “What did I feel most this week?”, “A colour that represents today”)

• You can follow the prompt — or ignore it and draw whatever you feel like.
• This is quiet time for personal drawing. No group discussion during this part.
• ⚠️ Important: Please bring your own drawing materials.

We’ll have a few basic supplies available, but not enough for everyone.

### ☕ 2:00 PM – 2:30 PM | Tea Break

• Grab some tea, coffee, or snacks.
• Chat casually with others or take a quiet moment before the next session.

---

### 💬 2:30 PM – 3:30 PM | Sharing Circle

• If you want, you can share your drawing from today — or something from your sketchbook.
• You can talk about it, or just show it. There’s no pressure to explain.
• Each person usually gets 5–10 minutes.
• You’re welcome to just listen and not share if you prefer.
• We listen without judgment, and support each other with care.

✨ You’re welcome to join both parts — or just one.

Come for the drawing, the sharing, or both — whatever feels right for you.
