A Fusion of Stories and Art!

Are you ready to bring the magic of your favorite books to life through the strokes of your pen and the pages of your sketchbook? Dive into the whimsical world of sketching and journaling your favourite books in a workshop designed to ignite your creativity and connect you with the stories that resonate in your heart. Bookworms, literature enthusiasts, arty folk and creative minds all welcome!

• Join me for this gentle drawing workshop where stories unfold not just in words, but in the strokes and scribbles of your own pencil! During this class we will be looking a loads of ways to draw from the books you enjoy...think covers, stacks and shelfies! Why not add notes, quotes, lists and reviews to your bibliophilic sketchbook pages (great for filling in the gaps!). The emphasis in this workshop will be on drawing rather than painting but please feel free to add a lick of paint to your sketch, I usually do!
