JOIN OUR social SKETCHCLuB!
Based at The Cartoon Museum just off Oxford STreet, these workshops are a great opportunity to get into town and meet some new likeminded friends. Led by our Founder Dulcie, this Social Sketchclub is an opportunity to meet others and try lots of different creative activities without any pressure on the end result. Whether you attend one or all of the sessions, you will discover how to use your creativity to take the pressure off, support your mental health and ultimately feel goooooooooooooood!
NB: You don’t need super sketching skills or an A* in ART to take part. These are play-based sessions focused on social connection and drawing for the fun of it!
We’re hosting 4 workshops over the summer, with the aim of extending this throughout the Autumn. Anyone who attends these workshops will be invited to join our youth advisory board and help us to shape our future activities - both in Westminster and beyond.
