DRAWING CLUB

If you don't consider yourself an artist (yet) there is a way to feel more aligned with your talents and interests, to feel like you're doing more than just a hobby. No shade on hobbies though - the distinction can sometimes be purely semantic or point you in the direction of unhelpful beliefs you can "unpack" about the value of your interests and preferences.

Because Drawing Club engages us in art-making in a social environment, we feel vulnerable as well as joyful. We can realise with a shock that we've brought more than our journal with us to the studio: there appears to be some childhood baggage too, in fact we begin to hear that EVERYONE has some. We relax. This can be where play comes in. A lack of control becomes our guide to letting go and engaging with the unknown.

Drawing Club is ideal for lapsed creatives, people wanting to push themselves out of their comfort zone, people who can't draw to save themselves (spoiler: we can all draw, yes, even you), people who were told they sucked, people who were told they were great, then they stopped, people who are over-stimulated, people who are lost, people who are finding their way.
