Immersive, 90 minute sketchbook sessions designed to unlock authentic ideas and spark uninhibited experimentation. Elevate GCSE portfolios with meaningful, soulful development work.

Is your teen in Year 10 or 11 feeling overwhelmed by the pressure of their GCSE art coursework?

I would love to welcome them to an exclusive, small group sketchbook club, hosted at The Studio Sanctuary - a private garden studio designed as a calm, inspiring haven away from chaotic school art rooms.

We merge the practical needs of the Art GCSE with a stress-free studio environment. Here, your teen can decompress after the school day, break through creative blocks, and build an outstanding, authentic sketchbook portfolio.

What We Offer

A True Studio Sanctuary: Strictly limited to a maximum of 8 students to ensure a quiet, focused, and deeply supportive atmosphere.

Premium Materials: Access to high-grade tonal mediums, texturing pastes, acrylic paints, and specialised background papers to transform their pages.

Nourishment & Flow: Complimentary warm drink or squash each week, helping students recharge, unwind, and transition seamlessly into a calm studio mindset.

Dedicated Layout Space: Ample flat worktop and table space to spread out, allowing multilayered, wet loose sheets or sketchbook pages to dry safely between sessions.
