The Sketchbook course is an ideal course for anyone wishing to explore an idea or theme in greater detail. The course will allow you to develop drawings, prints and painting studies in an array of different mediums and techniques all guided by the tutor throughout. You will be given a hardback concertina sketchbook to develop and work through to create the visual narrative. The course is also ideal for those wishing to strengthen and develop further ideas for determining future projects for example paintings or writing. The sketchbook can be displayed and treasured once completed. Please bring a pencil, a fine-line pen, and a basic watercolour set and brushes.
Pencil, basic watercolour set, sketchbook if you wish to provide your own. Additional materials will be discussed and provided in the first session.

Keep Up to Date

We no longer produce an annual brochure. This is simply because things change so quickly—we're always adding new courses, workshops and events, and a printed brochure can’t keep up! Not printing the brochure also helps us save on costs, so we can spend more on improving the activities and facilities we offer.

But don’t worry—getting the latest information is still easy. You can find up-to-date details of all our courses, workshops and events on our website, and we continue to put notices on the boards inside the Settlement building, just as before.

If you’d like up to date information sent straight to you, please sign up for our regular Settlement Newsletter. It’s a friendly way to stay in the loop, and we’re here to help if you need a hand with anything.
