SWITCHBOOK - Free Taster Session

During this event you can get to know SPAEDA and the project SWITCHBOOK, meet like-minded people passionate about art, view a thought provoking exhibition, courtesy of GLADE, and take part in a relaxed morning of sketchbook working.

You will get the opportunity to ask any questions you have about SWITCHBOOK and learn how to start your sketchbook journey.

Refreshments will be available after the gallery tour, please bring your own art materials and a sketchbook to work in.

This event is FREE but we kindly accept donations. As a charity we rely on funding to continue projects like this.

What is SWITCHBOOK?

SWITCHBOOK is an innovative collaboration, bringing together creatives from across Somerset, working side-by-side on a continuous sketchbook journey. You will swap sketchbooks by post once a month, responding to the work of your partners. By the end of the project you will have a collaborative sketchbook to take home and treasure.

Bookings are currently open. You can find out more and book your place here.
