Adults sat on a bench during a sketch crawl with sketchbooks in hand focusing and drawing something on the opposite street out of view.

Event description

Happening every second Sunday of the month, These sessions allow you to step outside and get creative alongside others. We’ll wander through parks and open spaces, pausing along the way to draw, noticing small details and engaging with our surroundings. Each session will have a meeting point shared a few days in advance.

We’ll usually finish at a local café or pub, where you’re welcome to stay for a drink and a chat if you’d like. This is about creating with community, sharing time, and seeing familiar places a bit differently. Open to all. Just bring something to draw with.

We kick things off on Sunday 13th July with “Light and Shadow”a creative session focused on how light falls on reflective surfaces. For inspiration, we’ll walk along the canal, drawing from the calming presence of the water as a starting point for our sketches.

Timings 11:00 am – 12:30 pm
Starting location: TBC ( Hackney Marshes)
