Town Sketchers
Fridays
Fancy getting outdoors, slowing down, and seeing your town through an artist’s eye?
Town Sketchers is a FREE monthly meet-up for anyone curious about drawing on location and having a go at plein air sketching… no experience needed, just a willingness to try.
Guided by well-known local artist Simon Jardine, each session offers friendly, professional support as you sketch real streets, buildings and scenes in the fresh air.
They’ll alternate monthly for 6 month between Hungerford and Lambourn.
How it works
• Book your place Box Office 01635 522733 or online
• Meet at 10.30am sharp at Goodies Café, 17 High Street, Lambourn, RG17 8XL
• Enjoy 1.5 hours of relaxed outdoor sketching
• Then head to a local café to warm up, share your work, and enjoy Simon’s helpful critiques and tips – all over a cuppa or even lunch
Whether you’re picking up a pencil for the first time or looking to build confidence and community through art, Town Sketchers is a welcoming, sociable way to get creative, meet others, and rediscover your surroundings.
They provide a sketchbook and pen/pencil, but feel free to bring your own if you have them.
Go and draw your town with them!
