Sketch and Cafe![]()

Sketch and Cafe is a
'bi-monthly', (twice a month [not every two months]), sketch and social
event Catherine Booth and I host in Manchester. This is all managed and was started by Jenny Ho, creator in chief, who is puppeteering my strings from far away.
The meet is held in cafés, museums, galleries and any other terrific places our wonderful city is hiding so long as coffee and pencils are somewhat close. We welcome all skill levels enthusiastically. Sessions start with some loose observation exercises to warm the pencils up, then some even looser creative exercises so the pencil is now beginning to ignite the paper and use it as kindling, and then finish with some unrestricted play after the sketcher, still brandishing their trusted burning pencil, has been properly undisciplined and fully wilded.
And coffee.
It's very friendly, very informal, and no strict dress-code but at least some would be preferred. If you'd like to tag along and meet some fellow creatives feel free to follow on Instagram or Eventbrite for upcoming events or just drop me an email/tap me on the shoulder.
