🍷🎨 Sip, Sketch & Unwind (Afternoon Session)
Come sip, snack and slow down with us
Join artist Anna Scobie for a relaxed afternoon art session in the Tiny Forest, focusing on still life sketching using charcoal and ink washes. We’ll be working with natural forms and found forest objects, exploring texture, shadow and simple composition in a calm, no-pressure way.
This is not a formal art class — it’s a social, creative pause in the day where you can chat, unwind, enjoy a drink and reconnect with drawing in its simplest form.
Anna will gently guide you through basic techniques for charcoal sketching and ink wash layering. Absolute beginners are very welcome.
What’s included:
- Guided still life drawing session with charcoal & ink washes
- All materials provided
- Wine + tasty nibbles
- A collection of sketch work to take home
This session is perfect if you:
- Love nature but “don’t really draw” (yet)
- Want a creative afternoon that feels grounding and easy
- Enjoy good company, good wine and making things with your hands
Come solo, bring a friend, or make it a shared slow afternoon — this is a cosy, welcoming Groundswell gathering.
Accessibility / Notes:
This is a relaxed, supportive outdoor session. Please let us know if you have any access or dietary needs. The event is held outdoors and requires walking down an uneven hill to reach the outdoor classroom.
