SKETCHING & JOURNALING

The popularity of sketching

When the world around us seems out of control, people seem to reach more for the natural, the beautiful, the local. More and more people are taking up the joy and peace of journaling the world around them in lovely sketchbooks full of memories, stories, plants, animals, cities, and destination locations. 

This page celebrates all those desires in us, as humans, to take a slice of that world outside and bring it home with us. To be able to learn about the world, revel in its mysteries, and capture it on paper.

Below, you’ll find all sorts of classes that might meet that desire in YOU…if you’re looking for something special you don’t see here, just reach out; you might find the class you hope for is going to be coming soon—or you may get it added to the list of to-do’s!
