Every Monday, tackle a specific creative challenge and master a new technique. A fast-paced hour designed to sharpen your drawing skills.

Got Mondays Off?

Whether you work weekends in hospitality, retail, or shifts, or simply have a free Monday afternoon in York, join us for an inspiring, structured hour of drawing inside a classic city-centre pub.

What to Expect

Fresh Weekly Prompts: No boring step-by-step copies or fruit bowls. Experiment with new materials, techniques, and ways of seeing every week.

Zero Pressure: Focus on building raw confidence and finding your own style instead of making a "perfect" picture.

All Levels & Community: Friendly, welcoming, and open to complete beginners and regular drawers alike, with optional opportunities to get involved in local York festivals.

Class Vibe:

Welcoming, structured, and infectiously enthusiastic about drawing. Designed to get you sketching with confidence.

Time and Venue:

Location is inside the conservatory, which is the back room at The Exhibition, York. Grab yourself a drink from the bar and head straight on through to join us. We start bang on 3:00 PM every Monday and wrap up at 4:00 PM.

Booking:

You can book your place in advance right here on Eventbrite, or simply drop in and pay at the door via cash or card.

What to Bring:

Please bring a basic sketch pad and drawing pencils. All other specialised materials for the weekly challenges are fully provided. Spare paper and pencils are always available.

Discounted tickets are available for anyone currently on maternity, paternity, or parental leave, those receiving Universal Credit or low-income benefits, seniors (65+), and full-time students. No proof is required; please select the concession option if it applies to you.
