Welcome to the world of Sketching. Enjoy a friendly class environment learning how to Travel Sketch.

Classes are designed for complete beginners, and those who think they can’t draw. If you are an experienced sketcher and wish to join us, you are welcome to join. Anna can help progress you forward and provide plenty of inspiration and challenges for you.

Each week, Anna teaches skills that give you confidence and joy with your sketching.
