Love to draw? Want to draw more? Join us for sketching adventures around Buxton - what ever the weather!
Buxton is a beautiful town, with plenty of notable and eye-catching buildings. The Buxton Sketching Group aims to meet around once a month for a couple of hours or so at a particular location in Buxton. We sketch in and around that area, then meet up again and show (if you want to) the work that you’ve produced.
The group welcomes beginners and experienced artists alike. It’s an open, encouraging group that will include plenty of people who will help you learn. What’s more, it’s free!
