Workshops with Sometimes Sarah Paints

‘I’ve not done any art since I left school!’

I hear this so often and it makes me so happy that people have decided to get back to their creative roots.

Whether you haven’t done any artwork for years or art is completely new to you, you’ll always be welcome on my workshops!

Monthly Workshops

All Skill Levels Welcome

Thursday Creative Club

10am-12pm – £25

Take a midweek pause and join us on Thursdays for the Thursday Creative Club – a welcoming space to relax, connect, and explore your artistic side. Whether you’re a complete beginner or an experienced artist, this friendly group is all about enjoying the process, not striving for perfection.

These workshops are about trying out new materials and techniques with gentle guidance and inspiration provided. It’s the perfect way to unwind, spark creativity, and share ideas with others who simply enjoy making art. All materials and light refreshments provided.

All abilities are welcome – just bring your curiosity and a willingness to have fun!

Ink & Watercolour Sketchalongs

Monthly on Wednesday evenings and repeated on the Friday morning -£30

Discover architectural sketching through the combination of ink and watercolour. These workshops are designed for anyone with a passion for drawing, urban spaces, and the built environment—whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned sketcher.

Guided step by step, you’ll learn how to:

• Capture the character and proportions of buildings.
• Use watercolour washes to bring depth, light, and atmosphere to your sketches.
• Develop a personal sketching style.

There are two types of workshops. One for beginners, working from a pre-printed design, we focus on the ink and watercolour techniques. Then a workshop for improvers where we start from scratch, learning observation and sketching techniques, followed by the ink and watercolour.

Working from both photographs and real-world locations, we will explore a variety of architectural subjects over time—from sweeping cityscapes to hidden courtyards and intricate details.

By the end of the workshop, you’ll not only have a finished painting, but also the confidence and techniques to continue sketching architecture wherever you go. All materials and light refreshments provided.

Family Art Workshops

Monthly 10:30am-12pm or 1pm-2:30pm £15

Each month, this art workshop offers a new theme or project designed to spark imagination, fun and laughter. From painting and collage to sculpture and mixed-media crafts, families of all ages and skill levels can join in, experiment with materials, and create something unique to take home.

Each 90min session is guided and full of encouragement, giving kids and adults alike the chance to play with colour, texture, and ideas. Every workshop is a chance to learn, share, and make lasting memories together.

Perfect for families looking for a screen-free, hands-on way to spend time together! All materials and light refreshments provided.
