About this Event
In a world that feels fast, heavy, and overwhelming, your sketchbook can become a private space for experimentation, reflection, and honest expression. This workshop invites you to slow down and rediscover drawing and mark-making as a grounding, intuitive practice.
Whether you’re a working artist, creative professional, or someone who hasn’t picked up a pencil in years, this experience is about process over perfection.
What We’ll Explore
- Creating a sketchbook ritual that feels sustainable and nourishing
- Letting go of perfectionism and performance in your art practice
- Mark-making as a form of emotional processing
- Combining text, collage, drawing, and abstraction
- Prompts that unlock intuition and creative flow
- Building visual language through repetition and experimentation
Outcomes
By the end of this workshop, we hope you will:
- Feel more confident using your sketchbook as a daily or weekly creative practice
- Have practical tools to move through creative blocks
- Understand how to use visual journaling for emotional clarity
- Develop a more playful, less self-critical relationship to making
- Leave with new ideas, fresh inspiration, and momentum
Supplies
We will provide you with:
- A sketchbook (any size — no “perfect” one required)
- Pencils
- Eraser
Feel free to supplement with other supplies like:

- 1–3 favorite art materials (watercolor, colored pencil, gouache, pastels, etc.)
- Old magazines or printed materials for collage (optional)

Who This Is For
- Artists seeking renewed inspiration
- Creatives navigating burnout
- Anyone curious about expressive art-making
Beginners who want a supportive, no-pressure space
No Prior Experience need.
This workshop is in tandem with our exhibition: Forget Me Not at OBR architecture. A show where we explore memories and connections to oneself. A sketchbook is self care. It’s a place to remember ourselves and a safe space to express ourselves freely.
