Join the waitlist to be the first to know when we swing the doors open this February! Class officially begins March 2nd.
Inside you’ll find:
Mark-Making & Sketch Prompts
Guided exercises to help you identify recurring gestures, shapes, movements, and motifs in your sketchbook.
Seeing What’s Already There
Tools for noticing patterns, themes, and instincts that often go overlooked—but hold the key to your style.
Iteration Practices
Simple, repeatable methods for pushing a single idea through variation, scale, and material exploration.
Sketchbook as Studio
Ways to use your sketchbook not as a warm-up space, but as a site for real decision-making and discovery.
From Sketch to Material
Prompts that help you translate drawings into surface, process, and form—whether you work in paint, cloth, wax, or mixed media.
Shaping a Series
Frameworks for editing, refining, and connecting works so they begin to speak to each other as a collection.
This workbook is designed to be lived with—written in, revisited, and returned to—supporting a more intuitive, sustainable studio practice.
Whether you’re feeling scattered, stuck, or ready to move toward a new body of work, Sketch to Series offers a grounded path forward—one page, one mark at a time.
