About

Join us for a 3-hour sketchbooking workshop in the beautiful and inspiring setting of Bates Green Garden, led by talented local artist Emma Lindsay. Immerse yourself in the tranquility of the garden as you explore a range of drawing, mark making, and collage techniques designed to deepen your connection with nature and its wildlife. Through mindful drawing and playful mark-making activities, you’ll nurture your creativity and finish the morning focused on collecting and composition. All drawing materials are provided—just bring your own sketchbook and discover the joy of art in this unique environment.


Please book online prior to the event. 
Cost: £40 to include drawing materials, a hot drink and some homemade cake.  Only £70 if both sessions are booked at once.
