1.5 hours Class size 1 to 50 guests       £40

Discover the joy of drawing in this beginner-friendly online class! This 1.5-hour session is designed to be easy and accessible for absolutely anyone. You only need paper and a pencil to get started, and no artistic background is required. It's a wonderful activity for children, friends, families, or even as a corporate team-building event.
Hosted on Zoom, the class is fully interactive, allowing you to get live feedback from your friendly teacher. The session begins with a welcome and an introduction to mindful drawing, followed by some fun warm-up doodles and exercises. You'll then follow along, sketching simple objects, before moving on to some free-hand drawing with plenty of helpful tips.
By the end of the session, you will have learned basic sketching techniques, including how to use lines, shading, and textures. You'll create your own simple drawings, such as flowers, leaves, objects, or doodle patterns. The focus is on enjoying the creative process, and you'll experience the relaxation that comes from mindful art.
You'll finish the class feeling wonderfully calm and accomplished, having made two or three completed sketches and gained the confidence to continue your drawing practice.
Please note:
  • This is a 1.5-hour online class.
  • Materials required: Paper, pencil, and an eraser (coloured pencils are optional).
  • The class will conclude with a chance to share your work and a Q&A.

  • 5/5 from Aileen Stevenson, attended Jun 2026: Loved the class. The tutor was knowledgeable, engaging and helped share lots of hints and tips in a fun and relaxing way. I learned lots including the slowing down, mindful emphasis of art!
  • 5/5 from Alec, attended Dec 2025: Claire's course was wonderful. starting with simple warm up techniques, followed by progressively more complex exercises. In a relatively short amount of time, you get to cover a great amount and come away with some great advice and feeling calm!
