# Event Details

- **Event Name**: Green Sketch Club
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sun, 03 May, 2026 at 10:30 am – Sun, 03 May, 2026 at 12:30 pm (+01:00)
- **Event Description**: Join Karen and Helen in a very special wildlife-friendly garden, alongside the River Sprint just outside Kendal. We'll start with some simple warm-up exercises (optional) and then you'll be free to explore this magical plot and woodland paths. If you haven't been before you're in for a treat.

There is an amazing old barn (with tables and chairs/tea and coffee) available for our use too.

The focus is always on the joyful process rather than the finished result, so there's no obligation to share and compare your sketches and doodles!

You'll discover how sketching in nature can help to bring calm into our busy lives.

Places are limited so please don't hesitate to book!

Suitable for all abilities from beginners to accomplished artists.

'Green sketching is a tool for slowing down and seeing nature’s beauty. It combines the benefits of mindfulness, nature connection and creativity in one simple, affordable activity. The quality of your sketch is irrelevant. It’s the looking and noticing that matters.' Dr Ali Foxon, Creator of the Green Sketching movement

We will provide:

A variety of art materials to play with
Optional drawing exercises to warm up, plus tips and guidance if you need it.
Small sketch books to purchase for £1 if required

What to bring:

Clothing and shoes suitable for the weather(sun hat/waterproofs?) and for walking on uneven ground.
Small sketchbook (if you have one), pencil and/or drawing pen
A light folding chair or stool if you prefer not to stand too long whilst drawing
Drinks and snacks/lunch (Hot drinks also available for a donation in the barn.)
Meeting Place

The exact meeting place will be shared after you've booked your place.
