Sketch Club

Drop in and draw every Friday afternoon.

Whether you can stay for ten minutes or the full three hours, our free Sketch Club is open to everyone and all materials will be provided.

Pull up a stool and enjoy looking at works you may never have noticed before.

Use your time to hone your sketching skills, chat with fellow art appreciators or simply indulge your creativity in a calm, inspiring atmosphere.

This is a self-led activity. No need to book in advance – just turn up and draw!

Don't forget to share your creations, tag @LULGalleries and #LULGalleries!
