Dive into the captivating realm of sketchbooks.

Please bear with us as we have had a few techy issues and have lost Ruth’s visual in places… you still get to see her sketchbooks though. And when I say ‘see’ we have discussed our sketchbooks for audio but it is well worth catching us either in YouTube or on our Spotify channel as they both have visual too.

We explore how different types of sketchbooks are used and for what purpose.

Get a peek into ours and our art journals as well and discover the difference, we discuss how we use them and get ideas from each other on ways to work.

Discover the diverse roles sketchbooks play, from experimenting with materials to shaping artistic style, and unravel the profound impact these personal spaces have on the evolution of our work and ideas.

We enjoyed recording this Podcast and hope you enjoy watching / listening.
