    Hi there, I’m Susan

    Sketchbook mentor, art shop raider and pencil hoarder

    When I’m not teaching, running my pottery cafe in Woking, writing books about sketching, or talking about all things creative, I’m busy being a mama to my very strong-willed daughter, dancing Salsa, practicing yoga, or sewing my own (often lovely, occasionally terrible) clothes. 

    So, believe me when I say I get it - life’s full-on busy! It’s why my own creativity has fluctuated over the years. And it’s what inspired me to create this space for you. So that amid life's beautiful, messy chaos, your sketchbook practice remains as easy, accessible, and constant as possible. 

    Let’s keep it simple. Let’s just sketch for the love of sketching, shall we?
