Switch Off and Sketch

Join us in person to unplug, unwind, and unleash your creativity. It’s all about disconnecting from screens and diving into some good old-fashioned sketching. Bring your favorite pencils, paper, and vibes for a chill session of drawing and fun. Whether you’re a newbie or a pro, this is the perfect chance to relax, meet like-minded folks, and let your imagination run wild. Don’t miss out on this awesome artsy hangout!
You’ll be gently guided through simple sketching prompts that keep the hands busy and the mind at ease. This is not a drawing lesson and there’s no right or wrong way to take part. The focus is on enjoying the process and giving your mind a rest from everyday noise.
Come on your own or with a friend and enjoy a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere.

What to Expect
A calm, guided creative session (60–90 minutes)
Simple sketching prompts anyone can follow
No pressure, no sharing, no experience needed
A genuinely relaxing way to switch off and reset
All materials provided (or bring your own sketchbook if you prefer).

Who This Is For
Anyone feeling mentally busy or overstimulated
People who want a break without screens or alcohol
Beginners welcome — you can’t do this wrong
Anyone curious about relaxing creativity without pressure
