Creative making: Sketchbooks

Explore the National Library of Scotland's sketchbook collections then create your own.

A relaxing, creative workshop exploring sketchbooks and sketching. Led by artist Tessa Asquith-Lamb, we will view items from the Library's collections and Tessa's own treasured sketchbooks for inspiration. We will create our own simple sketchbooks with time for sketching as part of the session. Weather permitting, we will also venture outside to draw inspiration from our surroundings.
