🎨 Sketchy Collective: First Helsinki Drawing Meetup
đź—“ Sunday, July 13, 2025
🕒 15:00 (no stress if you're late — join when you can!)
📍 Töölönlahti Park (backup location: Oodi Library — weather depending, more details closer to the date)
Exciting news — Sketchy Collective is launching its first drawing meetup in Helsinki! While I’ve organized similar sketching events in other cities, this is both our Helsinki debut and the first time trying out a new format: quick sketching in rounds.
Here’s how it works: we’ll take turns being the model for a short 10-minute sketch session. One person sits while the rest draw — then we rotate. It’s fun, informal, and a great way to connect through creativity.
đź§° What to bring:
Your own sketching materials — anything you enjoy using. If you’re an absolute beginner, just a notebook and pencil are more than enough.
🌦️ If it rains:
We’ll move indoors to Oodi Library. Final location details and how to find us will be shared closer to the event.
đź’¬ Other details:
- Free of charge
- No registration needed
- A quick message or social media follow helps a lot with motivation ❤️
- Come solo or bring a friend — late arrivals totally welcome!
✨ A few words if you're feeling shy or “can’t draw”:
No one here is expecting masterpieces — we care about self-expression, not perfection. Many absolute beginners have joined in the past and felt completely at ease. The vibe is super chill, with lots of self-distance and zero judgment. We’re all just here to have a good time and make some marks on paper. You’re truly welcome, exactly as you are.
Let’s test out this new format, enjoy the summer (or a cozy indoor spot), and create together. See you there!
