Drawing Classes and Workshops

Do you love drawing, or would you like to learn? Drawing can be rewarding, calming, mindful and fun. With an inexpensive pencil, eraser and sketchbook you can draw anytime, anywhere capturing visual memories, moments and ideas.

I’m an artist and illustrator who is passionate about drawing and encouraging others to feel the same. I run fun and friendly drawing groups in my home town of Cowes on the Isle of Wight. And have also travelled to teach workshops across the UK, working with the W.I., ‘Help For Heroes’, Hambledon Vineyard and various private clients to pass on that passion and get people inspired by new and classic sketching ideas.

I’m delighted to say that face to face teaching has now resumed at Cowes Library! Places are limited and booking is essential. Our new Drawing Group term starts in January 2023 and will run on Thursday afternoons 2-4pm and Thursday evenings 7-9pm. please get in touch if you’d like to know more.
