(VIRTUAL) Summer Sketchclub

LOOKING FOR SOmETHING FUN & CREATIVE FOR YOUR CHILD TO ENJOY OVER THE SUMMER HOLIDAYS? CHECK OUT SKetch Appeal’s FREE WEEKLY workshops!

OPEN TO westminster residents aged 11-16
NO ARTISTIC SKILLS REQUIRED - JUST ENTHUSIASM!

These FREE workshops are a great opportunity to get creative, get inspired, and have loads of fun while you’re at it! You’ll get to interact with other young carers and learn how you can use your creativity to boost your mental health. It doesn’t matter what you study at school or if you think you’re not very ‘good at Art’ - the aim of the game here is to have FUN! Joining these workshops will show you how easy and relaxing it can be to draw and make art for YOU - not for school or anyone else!

Workshops will be led by the Founder of Sketch Appeal Dulcie Ball, who believes that creativity is a superpower and that playing is the best way to learn! She also puts together FAB PLAYLISTS and provides brilliant snacks! :)
