Mindful still life drawing

About this event

Take a gentle creative break in the calming surroundings of Stockport War Memorial Art Gallery with our mindful still life drawing sessions.

Whether you're an experienced artist or picking up a pencil for the first time, this relaxed weekly session invites you to slow down, observe, and enjoy the simple pleasure of drawing.

Each week, the Gallery Team will prepare a still life arrangement using objects from the Stockport Museum Service handling Collection to inspire you. After that, you’re welcome to rearrange the objects and create a composition that speaks to you. This is your time to experiment, focus, and discover the mindful benefits of art-making, with no constraints of a class, just quiet time for you to draw.

Please bring your own drawing materials, or browse a selection of quality sketchbooks, pencils and art supplies available to purchase from the Art Gallery shop.

Come as you are, take a seat, and let creativity meet calm.

This is drop-in session is free, and suitable for all abilities.
