Many of you have followed me on my drawing adventures and I’ve had lots of requests
to create a sketchbook workshop, so here it is!

This 3-hour session is a chance to slow down, reflect, and reconnect with why you want to keep a sketchbook and what might be getting in the way.

Through a mix of honest conversation, guided reflection, and sketching exercises, we’ll explore the obstacles that often hold us back: fear of drawing, perfectionism, lack of time, or not knowing where to begin. We’ll dig into your motivations, clarify your aims, and begin shaping a sketchbook practice that feels personal and sustainable.

It’s a gently structured, chatty session - part practical, part reflective. I’ll share the materials I use myself and suggest tools and setups that might suit your lifestyle. You’ll also have time to sketch, experiment, and play.

Whether you’re a complete beginner or someone returning to drawing after a long break, this session is designed to help you move forward with confidence -  and keep going.

Do watch the video for more information.

How it works

All of my workshops are delivered via Zoom which is an online video conferencing app. If you're new to Zoom, you might have heard of people having 'Zoom meetings' with work colleagues. It basically means they used the Zoom app to facilitate the online meeting.
You don't need to have prior Zoom experience to attend a workshop.

Before the workshop, I send attendees an email with a Zoom link to click on which will require access to your device's camera and mic so that you can join the virtual group session!

It's easy to use and a great way to join in with my fun online workshops without leaving your home!

All you need is a smartphone or computer that has a camera and mic and a good internet connection so that you don't miss a thing.

All Printing & Drawing Workshops:

Hello

My name is Sam,  I'm a printmaker working from my studio in rural Northamptonshire. I've recently left London after 22 years and am now enjoying the fresh air, open skies and wildlife of my new life in the country.

Miss Marple my ever faithful mini dachshund loves it too! 

When I'm not in my studio I teach printmaking at the Royal Drawing School and also at the Working Men's College, London.
