In the studio I am just putting the finishing touches to A Spring Sketchbook Retreat Online that launches on March 20th.

I am really looking forward to sharing this with you. The course combines tasks and video lessons to connect you to the season as well as lots of resources to help you awaken and grow your creativity.

You can discover more, and book your place here.

Thank you for reading this. I post a newsletter and three free-to-read posts each month as well as a subscriber post that I publish on the first of every month. It’s a magazine style post where I share, over a three monthly cycle, inspirations, creative wellbeing advice, how to manage creative block and move to creative flow. I share lessons from my online courses in the form of a ‘dose’ of creativity to kickstart your sketchbook practice (next video mini-lesson in March). Coming in 2025 are interviews with other artists on how they use a sketchbook (starting February) as well as news from my studio and insights into my creative practice. Join my tribe for £5 a month or £50 a year and get access to all my previous posts too.
