Learn to draw different textures and patterns using only a pencil in this Saturday Sketch Club.

Start your morning creatively with this online art class.

In this Saturday Sketch Club, you will learn to depict texture on everyday objects through an exploration of line, tone, shape and pattern. Discover traditional and contemporary drawing techniques for creating texture with artist, Emyr Williams. Using the unique qualities of paper and pencil, participants will learn the fundamentals of producing texture in figurative and abstract ways.

Our Saturday Sketch Clubs are a series of online monthly art classes led by artists. Whether you're a beginner or a practising artist, these live-streamed classes are designed for everyone. Sessions take place online via a live webinar. Attendees will be sent a link to join the webinar closer to the time.
