Sketch and Stroll with Carrie Dennison
Tuesday 17 June 2025
This workshop is designed specifically for beginners and for those who say they ‘can’t draw’! Of course, those with sketching experience are very welcome too. This workshop is all about getting outside and enjoying some fresh air, finding shapes and colour in the landscape around St Michael’s & All Angels Church, and producing small 6cm square sketches.
We’ll do a few simple drawing exercises in the church first, and then we’ll move outside to observe the landscape, details and colours around us.
All materials will be provided. Please wear suitable clothing for the weather, and sturdy shoes
for walking.
If the weather is really bad, then we’ll have plenty of sketching opportunities inside the church.

Junk Journals with Carrie Dennison
Tuesday 13 May 2025
In this workshop we’ll create a hand bound journal, using your own ‘junk’! It’s a great way to recycle paper and card items around your home and repurpose them into a journal that you can add your journalling and treasured memories in.
Using junk materials, we’ll first create our book pages, and then create the covers. These will all be bound together to create your book.
You’ll go home with a finished, hand bound journal, that is ready for you to start writing, drawing and creating in.
This workshop is suitable for beginners. Carrie will email you a list of what recycled junk you need to bring, but all other materials will be provided.
