Join us for Art Club.
Subscribers to the Studio Diaries on Substack are invited to a FREE, co-create, unguided art session on Zoom.

Art Club is a part of the Rising Tide, Zoom Art Play Dates hosted in the Studio Diaries on Substack @ https://samashleyart.substack.com/

Held on the 4th Saturday of the month from 9.45 – 11.30am (Sydney time) via Zoom, Art Club is a 90 minute co-create session that is hosted, but not guided.

It’s a place where we get to connect with other artists, ask questions, brainstorm and support each other.

At Art Club there is a mix of pleasant conversation and art related banter with an optional sharing time at the end for anyone who would like to show their progress.

Come to Art Club prepared to work on your own creative project.

All Zoom sessions will be recorded, and the replays will be available on Substack & You tube.
