Team Sketchups (ONLINE)
Unite, uplift and inspire your team with Sketch Appeal!
Our new online Sketchups are playful portrait-sketching sessions designed to boost your team’s creativity and wellbeing. They’re suitable for all levels and disciplines - including those who think they “can’t draw”!
Set to music and hosted by Sketch Appeal Founder Dulcie, they offer a relaxed social space where people can explore their creativity, experiment with different drawing styles and connect with each other in new ways.
These unique creative wellbeing sessions are designed to:
Prove that EVERYONE CAN DRAW!
Activate the mood-boosting benefits of drawing
Build creative confidence
Inspire creative-thinking
Build bonds, trust and empathy within teams
A little snap of the action at our Frida-inspired Sketchy BItches session on Zoom!
We’ve been running themed sketching sessions on Zoom since March, providing a fun creative space for people to connect and create during this isolating time. If your team is working remotely then these sessions could be a fantastic way to bring people together to feel connected, energised and inspired.
WHAT TO EXPECT
After a brief intro chat and warm-up challenge, everyone will take a turn to pose whilst the rest draw their portrait (for 5-8 minutes depending on numbers). Dulcie will offer a different prompt to inspire each portrait (e.g. non-dominant hand, abstract, Picasso-style...) or sitters can offer up their own!
YOU WILL NEED:
A Zoom account
Paper
Coloured pens and pencils
A sense of humour!
TIMINGS
Social Sketchups can last between 60-120 minutes - we can tailor completely to your needs. You can book a one-off workshop or a series to be delivered at regular intervals, which we strongly recommend! Like yoga, drawing is a powerful form of active group meditation - the more you do it the greater the impact will be on your team’s mental health, morale and creativity.
Available Mon-Fri, 10am-6pm subject to availability.
We charge a fixed fee for an unlimited number of participants and offer discounts to anyone booking a series of Sketchups in advance.

Feel the fear and draw it anyway!!
These are informal, non-competitive experiences full of fun and easy activities suitable for ALL levels. We’ll get you drawing with your right hand, with your left hand, with your eyes closed… all of which takes the pressure off and switches your inner artist ON!
There are no team leaders or winners - and there are certainly NO RULES!

Some nice things people have said…
“So much fun and really absorbing! A great way to completely take a pause from work.”
Orlaith Wood, REED Words
“I loved the workshop, and felt I made surprising progress as an Important Artist in 90 mins, as well as generally chilling out. And Dulcimer was such a lovely host.”
Samuel Pollen, Head of Digital Writing @ REED Words
“Good fun, creative and inspiring. Great to try something new and challenging, and to think differently about how we see people and how we come across to others”
Chris Noel, Sales Director @ Divine Chocolate
“We loved it! You brought a quite introverted group of people at the tail end of a day of presentations to life, and it was great to see everyone getting into the sketching activities.
There was lots of laughter in the room, and also singing along to the music! I had hoped that the Sketchworking activity would be a nice way for us to focus on our people, and it really was fantastic to spend an hour and a half sketching each other in different ways. It wasn't intimidating at all, and I felt that our whole team had fun and got a real boost of creativity too.”
