About this Event

Designed for people of all ages, backgrounds, and experience levels, these welcoming sessions invite you to slow down, connect with nature, and explore your creativity in a supportive environment.

Whether you’re picking up a pencil for the first time or are an experienced sketcher, this workshop offers the perfect opportunity to draw outdoors alongside others.

If you’ve always wanted to sketch in nature but never felt motivated to go alone, this is your chance to join a friendly group, discover new perspectives, and enjoy a relaxing morning of art and conversation.

Come walk, draw, and connect with your local community while experiencing the beauty of Portland Park through creative observation.

No prior drawing experience is required, all are welcome!
