How do I book?

You can book a FREE ticket or a MAKE A DONATION ticket via Eventbrite. If making a donation, we suggest a maximum of £5 per person. But donations are entirely optional. Although we welcome drop-in attendees if we have spaces, it does help us to keep track of numbers if you can book a place beforehand as places are limited. You can also make donations via this link which will take you to our Paypal donation page (you can donate by Paypal or by debit/credit card). Please note, you can only book for the next available session.

The Eventbrite booking link for each session is listed next to the dated above. You can also book via email to Holly at threadandpress@gmail.com or call on 01759 486020.

Please check the date of the session you are booking. Tickets for the next session will be available to book by the end of the current session. Please check session timings carefully as they may vary between venues. 

Who can attend?

We welcome all adults, even if you haven’t drawn for years! Please note, this is an adult only session.

We can accommodate quite a few people, but we do have a limit. Therefore, it is best and preferable to us if you can BOOK your place using our Eventbrite booking page, by email or by telephone. However, you can just turn up on the day if there are places available. If you are booking for a group of people, please ensure you contact us or book online before attending. When booking, you just need to leave your name and contact details (in case there is a last minute cancellation of the venue and we need it get hold of you).  If you cannot book online, you can call us on 01759 486020 (Mon – Sat 9am – 5pm) and book a place over the phone.

​Please note, we do give priority booking to those who have attended the previous session and allow then chance to sign up before online tickets are released, but we will always try and accommodate as many new people as we can. 

What is provided?

We provide:

• Paper
• Pencils and quality basic drawing equipment
• Clipboard easel to lean on
• Source images to refer to
• Tuition and support (if desired)
• Hot drinks and biscuits(tea, coffee and hot chocolate)

Do I have to come every month?

No, sessions are booked as and when you want to. Tickets for each session will be released during the previous session (around 4 weeks in advance) (straight after the previous session) . If you book and cannot make it or need to cancel, just cancel your place via Eventbrite or let us know by email or phone on 01759 486020.​
