This event will be held in person at Glasgow Zine Library and is BYOB. You must be over 18 to attend.
This event is part of our Community Led Programme.
Want to get back into drawing, work on your portfolio or just meet new people? Come along to The Sketchbook Sessions, a designated space and time where we can relax and draw together, taking a break from the busyness of life.
Sketchbooks can act as important tools to cultivate creativity and help you get into the habit of drawing and mark making. It’s convenient, portable and something you can bring wherever and whenever. It can range from being a place to practice techniques and share your ideas with others, to a space for of self-expression and creative refuge.
All you need to take part is your sketchbook and any pencils or pens you would like to bring. There are pens, pencils and other materials available at Glasgow Zine Library.
About the event leader:
Jillian Mendoza 'mendonka' is an illustrator based in Glasgow Scotland. A graduate from the Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art & Design in 2023, her style has since developed into a visual form that takes influence from other means of expression, everyday experiences and the lives of other people. She has collaborated with communities and organisations around the city, and believes that illustration can be a powerful tool to serve others.
