Sketching not Scrolling.
How to Start a Creative Habit Before Breakfast
Events Synopsis:
Start your mornings with creativity—not your phone.
Join artist, colour specialist and textile expert Natasha Marshall for a fun, relaxed 2-hour workshop designed to help you build a daily sketching habit that truly sticks.
In this hands-on still-life drawing session, you’ll experiment with quick drawing, painting and mark-making techniques, all aimed at helping you loosen up, enjoy the process, and create with confidence. Natasha will show you her simple “List of 10” method—an easy way to remove the daily question of “What should I draw?” so you can sit down each morning and start sketching straight away.
Natasha has sketched every single morning for over 650 days, and she’ll share the habits, practical tips and mindset shifts that transformed her once-empty sketchbooks into a joyful daily ritual that now inspires her studio work.
This workshop is perfect for complete beginners, lapsed creatives, and seasoned sketchers alike.

- Simple techniques for quick, expressive drawing
- How to build an effortless morning creative routine
- The “Sketching Not Scrolling Before Breakfast” mindset
- How to create your personal List of 10 subjects

Why Join?
If you've ever said:
“I wish I had time to be creative…”
Natasha’s answer is simple:

Come learn how small, joyful creative moments can transform your mornings—and your mindset.
