Sketch & Connect was at the Central Mosque, Wembley. We had a great group of parents and children from the mosque joining us alongside members of the public who were keen to visit this converted church built in 1904 and now a Muslim place of worship. As we sat there we listened to the call to prayer and responded drawing lines in rhythm to this soundscape. We also did some mark making, then drew our surroundings while discussing the benefits of drawing @sharedcity

Sketch & Connect was at St Augustine’s, Kilburn. Known as ‘The Cathedral of North London’ built in the Gothic style of the thirteenth century. Work began in 1871 and was consecrated in 1880. St Augustine was the first Archbishop of Canterbury. There was so much to draw inside, it was awe inspiring. We will return for another session on 21 Nov, 2-3.30. Booking in bio ☝🏽@sharedcity #mindfuldrawing #community

Sketch & Connect was at Ealing Road Library again. Loving the creative energy from people who haven’t drawn for years. They all found the experience meditative and valued taking time for themselves. We do both physical warm up, followed by drawing warm up. Then we chose to do mindful colouring in or draw from objects that represent the different variety of faith venues that are hosting our project. Thank you to the wonderful librarians for making us feel so welcome @sharedcity

Today’s Sketch & Connect was hosted by Ealing Road Methodist Church, Wembley, NW London. Sunlight was streaming through the beautiful windows creating calm for our session. We did a drawing meditation translating words like peace, happiness and tranquility onto our page through mark making. We enjoyed drawing the window shapes and taking time out of our day to connect with others and have time to ourselves. Thanks to Wates for supporting our project @sharedcity #community #wembley #brent

Sketch & Connect was at the Shri Sanatan Hindu Mandir yesterday. We did some mindful drawing inside and then came outside into the glorious October sunshine to make rubbings from the stone carvings which were crafted in India and shipped to London. The building took 14 years to build. There are 50 deities inside and out. A lot to be inspired by. Thanks to Wates for supporting our initiatives to bring communities closer by sketching inside faith venues along Ealing Road, Wembley @sharedcity

Our Sketch & Connect project was hosted on Sunday by The Albanian Muslim Community Center. We enjoyed tapping into our creative side and finding it very meditative. We don’t often get the opportunity to draw and play, meet new people and learn about different cultures.

Sketch & Connect was in South Kilburn this afternoon at the Albanian Muslim Community Center. We were welcomed by Bahri into this wonderful space where we took part in mindful drawing, looking at simple calligraphy, making colourful rubbings and quietly observing the surroundings. People enjoyed tapping into their creative side, meeting people from their local community and learning about different cultures.
