Looking for a wee creative pick-me-up?

Fancy a couple of hours just for you, doing something relaxed, creative and low-pressure in good company?

Sketchbook Club is a friendly, informal creative drop-in held in the Design Suite at Adam Smith Theatre. It’s a calm, welcoming space where you can sketch, doodle, experiment, chat, or simply enjoy a peaceful afternoon with a cuppa.

There’s no agenda and no expectations - just time and space to create (or rest your brain) however you like.

Whether you’re a seasoned artist or haven’t picked up a pencil in years, you’re absolutely welcome. You don’t need to be “good at art” - just bring a sketchbook, a bit of curiosity, or something you’ve been meaning to work on.
