Join me for a very special Christmas Sketchbook Journal Workshop – where mince pies meet mixed media and Christmas cheer flows as freely as the ink in my dip pen, and a the mulled wine served in festive mugs.

There will be a variety of Christmas-themed projects for you to chose from and all materials will be provided, along with plenty of resources, materials and visual material to help make it the most relaxed of workshops: where you can become inspired by pop up cards, go festive with collage and relax with some festive doodling in a warm, creative haven, safe from the outside world for a short while.

A sketchbook journal is a place to explore creativity and record the world around you.

The following materials will be provided for use during the sessions: drawing pencils, coloured pencils, erasers, pencil sharpeners, scissors, glue sticks, tape, water colour paint sets, paintbrushes, a variety of pens such as brush markers, fine liners, paint markers, highlighters, card and Christmas stamps.

Please note: The sessions will be held in the Cluster building, which is an old building and the outdoor area does have old tiles. There are toilets for your use, but they are not accessible toilets. Most sessions will be held on the first floor of the building which is accessible via a dog-leg staircase (sort of like a spiral stair case but not curved). The in-situ lesson will be in the whole building so is more accessible but not for a wheel chair.

You are welcome to bring your own sketchbook to the workshops, but something with thicker paper than standard printer paper is recommended because you will be drawing on both sides.

There will be sketchbooks available to purchase for £6 if needed . They are A5 in size with pages of thick cartridge paper. I can provide an email list of materials we have used in the sessions if anyone wishes, please ask and I will send you one.

There are regular buses from town and beyond, and there are bike park racks along Banbury Road in Summertown, and on South Parade. There are some 3 hour parking spaces along Middle Way though these are subject to availability on the day. Summertown Car Park on Diamond Place off Banbury Road, Summertown, OX2 7BY is a pay and display car park nearby.

Meet Point Coffee has a cafe on site at 3-5 Middle Way and it will be possible to buy a hot drink etc at the start or whenever you wish. There will be mince pies and mulled wine (non-alcoholic and with alcohol) provided for the Christmas workshop, all included in the price.
