Sketchbook Lab | Single Session Drop-ins available

Wednesday Morning Creative Escape (Drop-ins Welcome) Welcome to your Wednesday morning creative escape in Dore. Can't commit to a full term but need a relaxing midweek break? You can now book a Single Session Drop-In for just £30! Join us this Wednesday morning to play with raw charcoal, liquid inks, and premium studio tools—complete with fresh coffee and homemade cake. Sketchbook Lab is a relaxed, tactile space designed specifically for adults who want to explore their internal creativity without the pressure of a traditional art class. There are no strict templates to copy, no rigid rules, and absolutely no previous drawing skills or "natural talent" required. No judgements, no comparisons - just creative joy! 🎨 Choose How You Want to Join Us: • Option 1: Single Session Drop-In (£30) Perfect if you want to try a single morning or cannot commit to the full 6 weeks. Includes full access to all studio paints, inks, professional tools, fresh coffee, and homemade cake for that session. (Please note: Drop-in students just need to bring their own sketchbook!) • Option 2: Full 6-Week Course Bundle (£150) Commit to the full visual journey. On Week 1, you will be gifted your own premium, hardback Seawhite of Brighton sketchbook, a waterbrush, a pigment pen, and a charcoal kit to keep and bring back each week. Includes fresh coffee and quality home-made cake every single week. 🗺️ The Roadmap (Join for one, or join for all!)Whether you drop in for a single week or stay for the whole term, look at what we are exploring: • Week 1 (09/09/26): Deep monochrome mark-making with raw charcoal and liquid inks. (complete) • Week 2: (16/09/26) The delicate balance of fine-line pens and unpredictable watercolour washes. • Week 3: Vibrancy and chemical bleeds using intense water-soluble blocks and inks. • Week 4: Discovering the weight of acrylics—from light washes to heavy, opaque textures. • Week 5: Hands-on, process-led printmaking with professional gel plates and rollers. • Week 6: Curating your favourite materials to map out your own unique creative voice. Who is This For? Whether you haven’t explored your creative side in years, are looking for a therapeutic midweek escape, or simply want to test out high-end artist materials you don’t own at home—men and women are equally welcome. Spaces are strictly limited to keep the group small, intimate, and supportive. Come step into the lab, grab a coffee, and let your creativity bloom.
