Penge Art Club

Penge Art Club, is a fortnightly event hosted Upstairs at Southey Taproom

We're bringing people together to play, create, and learn. You don't need to be a skilled artist to come to an art club, you just need a desire for some time and space to mess around and try new things. 

Sunday 17th May  

We are back in 2025 with Abstract Drawing for Mindfulness with Miko Coffey. This will be a lovely little session focused on well being.

Miko Coffey BFA is a graduate of Fine Art and Mathematics at The University of Texas at Austin and has been involved in various creative pursuits from a very young age. Having worked in the creative industries for the past 25 years, she had been feeling burnt out running her busy web design business and was looking for ways to disconnect from online distractions and bring more focus into her life. This practice of abstract drawing has been the ideal way to introduce short bursts of mindfulness into each day, with just a pen and paper.

Abstract Drawing for Mindfulness goes beyond doodling, and is as much about the process as the outcome. Anyone can do it, even if you think you can't draw. Perhaps you have tried journaling, knitting or meditation and it just didn't stick, or you are looking for a simple way to add calm and creativity into your schedule. Armed with a set of easy and memorable line drawing methods, you will learn techniques that you can take away with you to practice on your own, anytime, anywhere. During the class, we will go through each drawing method step-by-step, and you will leave the afternoon with multiple drawings as well as a takeaway handout with instructions and reminders.

The ticket price is £25.00. All materials will be provided for the session.
