Sketchbook Safaris
Sketchbook Safaris are creative workshops in London for people who enjoy sketching outdoors. They are a great way to create out and about with a small, friendly group. I suggest our meeting spot where we gather up to half an hour before the workshop to grab a cuppa, have a chat and get to know each other. You will then be guided to make your own folded mini sketchbook. This will be used as we walk and draw in and around a wonderful area of London. Previous Sketchbook Safaris have taken us to the Southbank and Kings Cross. Our next Sketchbook Safari takes place at the Barbican on Friday 24th April. The morning session is now sold out, but you can still join the afternoon session from 2-4pm.
£25 per session. All materials provided.
