**Sketch & Draw from Life – A Creative, Hands-On Workshop**
Discover the joy of drawing from real life in this guided sketching workshop. You’ll learn the fundamentals of freehand drawing, including how to observe carefully, understand proportions, and translate what you see onto paper.
The session covers key techniques used in life drawing and perspective, with inspiration drawn from your surroundings — portraits, objects in the room, or elements from nature.
While everyone learns the same core concepts, you’ll have the freedom to choose what you want to draw, making each experience personal and unique.

This workshop is about **learning the process**, not creating one perfect finished piece. You’ll leave with a collection of sketches and a stronger foundation in drawing.
Suitable for **beginners and more experienced drawers** alike.
No prior experience needed — just bring your curiosity and creative spirit.
Photos and short videos may be taken during the event. Let the host know if you prefer not to be in them. Tickets are non refundable.

INTENSIVE Drawing Class
**INTENSIVE Drawing Course - learn to draw independently, step by step**
This **intensive drawing course** is for anyone who wants to learn drawing from scratch and master it confidently in the long term. The goal of this course is to guide you step by step **to being able to draw independently** – without reference materials, without uncertainty, and with a solid understanding of form, proportion, and light. The focus is on building a strong foundation that is essential for any drawing style
In this course, you'll learn the **absolute basics of drawing** : sketching, shading, and accurate measuring. These three areas form the foundation for both realistic and stylized drawings. You'll learn how to observe subjects correctly, place lines deliberately, and create depth and volume using simple techniques. Measuring proportions, in particular, will help you avoid typical beginner mistakes and significantly improve your drawings.
This intensive course is intentionally structured as **an ongoing drawing course**. Drawing is a skill that develops through regular practice. A single session can be inspiring, but it's not enough to make real progress. Through consistent participation, you'll systematically build your knowledge and develop an increasingly refined sense of form, light, and perspective. Each lesson builds upon the previous one and reinforces the concepts learned.
A key focus is on **practical application** . You'll actively draw in every lesson and receive individual feedback. I'll personally guide you, show you alternative approaches, and help you develop your own drawing style. The goal is not only to instruct you but also to equip you with the necessary tools to **continue drawing independently** and realize your own designs.
### Draw more, pay less
Those who want to draw regularly will benefit from a **course subscription**. With a subscription (4, 6, or 12 lessons), each lesson becomes significantly cheaper. The subscription is ideal for anyone who is motivated, wants to stick with it, and consistently improve their drawing skills. Regular sessions provide structure, routine, and visible progress – exactly what many people need when drawin
**For whom?**
This intensive drawing course is suitable **for beginners *and motivated newcomers* .** No prior knowledge is required. What's most important is the desire to truly learn how to draw and the willingness to practice regularly. Talent isn't crucial – patience, interest, and consistency are the keys to success.
If you want to learn **to draw confidently and independently** , solidify your basics and improve step by step, this intensive course is just right for you.

Manga Zeichnen Workshop in Zurich
**Sketchbook Cover Workshop - Design Your Own Unique Sketchbook**
Need a new and unique sketchbook? Why not **design it yourself**?
The **Sketchbook Cover Workshop in Zurich** gives you the opportunity to create a personalized, manga-inspired sketchbook cover. In a relaxed and supportive environment, you will learn step by step how to **design, draw, and color your own cover**. This workshop is perfect for beginners and creative minds who want to try drawing while exploring new techniques.
We start with **15 minutes of sketching fundamentals**, a warm-up to help you loosen your hand, build simple shapes, and sketch quickly and confidently. These basics are ideal for beginners to gain confidence and feel comfortable approaching a blank page.
Next, we spend **15 minutes drawing a manga head**. You’ll learn the standard structure of a manga face, including the correct placement of eyes, nose, mouth, and hairstyle. I’ll show you how manga proportions work and provide tips for creating expressive faces. Personalized guidance is provided throughout.
The main part of the workshop is **60 minutes designing and drawing your sketchbook cover**. Here you develop your own creative cover. We’ll discuss layout, composition, and how your illustration can stand out on your sketchbook. Whether your style is playful, minimal, or detailed, you decide how your cover looks. The goal is to create a **unique artwork** that inspires your future sketches.
Finally, we spend **30 minutes coloring your cover with Ohuhu Markers**. You’ll learn how to blend colors, create simple shading, and make your illustration pop. Ohuhu Markers are ideal for manga art, giving smooth, vibrant, and bold results. Experimentation is encouraged – perfection is not necessary.
**Who is it for?**
The workshop is suitable for **teenagers, adults, and hobby artists**. No prior experience is needed. You’ll leave with a **finished A4 sketchbook cover (50 pages)**, new drawing skills, and fresh motivation to continue your creative journey.

Speak Easy (Storytelling)
The topic for March is "Our Bodies, Ourselves"
Speak Easy: true stories, told live.
The idea is simple: an audience, an open microphone, and great stories. Hilarious, gripping, poignant- it's up to you. Audiences are invited to come to listen or come to tell as folks from all corners of Columbus offer their stories live on stage! Held at Wild Goose Creative's warm, intimate space, this night of tales occurs on the 3rd Thursday of every month. Doors open at 6:30 pm, show starts at 7:00 pm. Please arrive early if you want to tell, as we generally only have room for a limited number of tellers, and the sign-up sheet has a tendency to fill up fast.
Formed around the idea that people need stories--they're what hold and draw us together--SpeakEasy celebrates the strangeness and commonness of being human. And in a world of smartphones, Facebook, Twitter, and more . . . it gives people a real, breathing, in-person way to connect.
The night is geared for true stories of all kinds, taking the best tales told around kitchen tables, in darkened pubs, on the street corner, and at late-night parties and giving them an audience. Speak Easy is also a great outlet for performers, writers, and artists looking to share their favorite stories and perfect their skills. We strongly encourage tellers to please tell the story rather than read it so we keep within the spirit of good storytelling and stay engaged with the audience. All are welcome. Hang around after the show for a drink and build community!
