Sketch Book Club is a casual weekly gathering focused on building a joyful journaling habit to support your craft practice. This is not about finished work or technical skill—it’s about showing up, experimenting, and letting the process surprise you. Each week we’ll work with a variety of materials and prompts. Prompts are designed to be unexpected, sometimes funny, sometimes reflective, and always open-ended. Over the course of the class, your sketchbook will become a place to notice, wonder, and explore without pressure. All skill levels are welcome.

Supplies: Bring your own sketchbook. A selection of supplies—from markers to magazines—will be available.
