I created it to gently reconnect you with your creativity through playful, meaningful sketchbook exploration. Led by me, Emily – an experienced artist, intuitive facilitator, and meditation guide – I bring over 20 yrs of qualified teaching experience into this space, creating sessions that are accessible, nurturing, and rooted in trust. Each week we explore a new task inspired by the theme, feeling, and personal expression. You’ll learn real art techniques while building your confidence and creative voice, one page at a time. My teaching background means I know how to guide you step-by-step, while allowing space for personal growth, experimentation, and fun. Whether you're returning to art after years away or exploring it for the first time, you’ll be supported every step of the way. No pressure. No perfection. Just process, presence, and play. Come as you are – and let your sketchbook tell your story. www.eccarterart.com WHAT EQUIPMENT DO I NEED?
