Happy New Year from Sketchbook Club ✨

We only ran a handful of Sketchbook Clubs this year, but even in that short time, it became clear that there was something worth nurturing here.

It’s a monthly meet-up where people arrive with sketchbooks, sit down, and give themselves permission to draw without needing a reason or an outcome. Some pages feel good, some feel a bit awkward. All of it is welcome. It’s about giving yourself time that doesn’t need to be productive. Time where making something small is enough

A huge thank you to for hosting us so warmly. It already feels like the right home for this kind of gathering, and the final session of the year, complete with the most delicious vegan gingerbread and mince pies, felt like a perfect way to close things out.

Looking ahead, we’re really excited to say that Sketchbook Club will run monthly throughout 2026. Same gentle pace, same welcoming energy, same intention to make space for creativity.

If you’re craving a slower start to the year, you’ll find all the new dates listed in the link in our bio alongside Drink and Draw.

We’d love to see you at the table.

‘Drawn Together’! 🖌️☕✨
We took inspiration from the creative competition from and to make giant group tea party drawings. Our creative peeps filled the pages with all sorts of characters, creatures, and their cuppas of choice.

Another night of drawing, collaging, chatting, and connecting with folk. Big thanks to everyone who came along! 💛
