Sunday Sketch Club: May

Welcome to Sunday Sketch Club!

The perfect way to build a creative practice and make some new friends! Sunday Sketch Club is all about scrolling less and sketching more.

It’s so easy for us all to become lost in our own worlds and fill our time scrolling. The idea behind SSC is to bring people together who want to get a little bit more creative and meet likeminded people!

What is Sunday Sketch Club? Every third Sunday of each month, we meet at the Studio, learn about a new sketching style, technique or art supply and then head out and sketch the streets of Melbourne!

Why sketching? Sketching is a wonderful way to build a regular creative practice – it’s all about letting loose, having fun and finding wonder in the world around us. There is absolutely no right and wrong about sketching and that’s why no artistic experience is required!

What is urban sketching?

Urban sketching is a way of using art to document the world around us. It's the act of drawing in the cities or neighbourhoods we live in or travel to. By sketching we are capturing a moment in time in a unique, artistic way.

What's included?

• New art supply to keep
• Instructional session about the featured art supply or a new sketching technique
