Rediscover yourself with a daily sketchbook practice.

Discover the power of creativity and mindfulness in just 5 minutes a day with this 5-day sketching course. Sketching for Me-Time guides you through simple, daily exercises designed to help you reconnect with yourself, reduce stress, and nurture personal growth.

No prior experience is needed—just an open mind and a willingness to make time for yourself!

Whatever your skill level, with me as your sketchbook mentor, we’ll dust off those empty sketchbooks together and start filling them one doodle, scribble, and sketch at a time. Who knows what hidden talents you might uncover along the way? 

So, let's make a start. Get ready to unleash your creativity and reclaim time for you.

Your go-to creative membership for drawing, doodling, and sketching 

If you've been itching to unleash your inner artist, but the thought of attending (or paying for) a traditional art school sends shivers down your spine, Inspire could be the flexible, creative haven you’ve been searching for. 

Inspire is a monthly creative membership centered around a supportive, global community of like-minded creative types. With a plethora of inspirational, motivational, and creative resources at your fingertips, it’s designed to build and improve your sketching stamina no matter where you are on your sketchbook journey. 

The perfect online space for daunted dabblers or reluctant returners to develop a consistent sketching habit.

Join me on an explorative 6-week journey of artistic transformation with the Sketchbook Bootcamp. By the end of the Bootcamp, you'll have built up your sketching confidence and a collection of stunning creations to show off to the world. 

This isn't your typical online program - the Sketchbook Bootcamp is an intensive, immersive, 6-week experience. It’s packed with mindset coaching, material explorations, and sketchbook tutorials. Plus, you'll be supported to meet your sketchbook goals by a like-minded community of fellow sketchers. 

Say goodbye to creative blocks and hello to limitless inspiration with the Sketchbook Bootcamp!

When I’m not teaching, running my pottery cafe in Woking, writing books about sketching, or talking about all things creative, I’m busy being a mama to my very strong-willed daughter, dancing salsa, practicing yoga, or sewing my own (often lovely, occasionally terrible) clothes. 

So, believe me when I say I get it - life’s full-on! It’s why my own creativity has fluctuated over the years. And it’s what inspired me to create this space for you. So that amid life's beautiful, messy chaos, your sketchbook practice remains as easy, accessible, and constant as possible. 

Over the years, I’ve learned how to make my sketchbook practice work for me. Now, it’s where I turn as soon as I feel the urge to lose myself in a splash of colour or a quick continuous line. I find inspiration all around me, and I want to share that with you. 

You don’t need a reason to get creative, and you definitely don’t need to be ‘good’ at it. Creativity doesn’t need to be complicated. All you need is something to draw with, something to draw on, and a creative itch that wants scratching.
