Green Sketching Workshop 

Join local artist, Ali Edwards, who'll introduce you to some simple, stress-free sketching techniques as part of a walk around Etal and beside the River Till, learning to really 'see' nature. 
Designed for absolute beginners as well as more experienced artists looking to be inspired by nature, this Green Sketching Walk is all about relaxing, observing, and enjoying time spent outdoors and the process of sketching - not the end result!

Day & Time: Sunday 7th September 2025.   10.30am - 12.30pm
Location: Meet at Etal Village Hall, Etal TD12 4TL 

Cost: £35pp

As part of the workshop, you'll receive basic sketching supplies - including a sketchbook, some drawing tools - and 'An Introduction to Green Sketching' booklet with lots of exercises and tips for keeping your Green Sketching habit going.

Please contact Ali for more information and book directly with her via this link: https://www.coostie.co.uk/art-prints-and-gifts/p/an-introduction-to-green-sketching-workshop-7th-september-2025

Join Us

Please get in touch and send a couple of images or a link to your work We are now fully booked for 2025, but if you'd like to join us next year please get in touch. We're already taking registrations of interest for next year's Sunday markets which are on first Sunday each month May-October.

We're looking for artisan makers, who design and handcraft everything themselves - from paintings and prints, to glass, textiles, fibre art, ceramics, chocolates, cheese, soaps, jams, bread etc.

We'd also like to hear from any local farmers/gardeners who'd like to sell fruit and veg or flowers (fresh or dried) - possibly outside (weather permitting) to create mini farmers' market vibes.

As well as Sundays, we also have a monthly Arts at Etal fair, on second Wednesday each month April - October. Please see separate event page.
