My name is Emma and I have loved art from a very young age. I qualified as a primary teacher in 2006 and soon discovered that, due to timetable restraints, there was not enough time dedicated to the arts at school. I was often seeing children with low confidence being taken out of a rare art lesson to do more maths and English.
I believe that we should value art as a subject more as being creative makes us feel good, increases our self confidence and helps us think in different ways.
As an artist and a teacher, it was the logical choice to bring my two passions together to create Go Sketch Club!
I believe in teaching children that there is no such thing as 'good art' and 'bad art', only art we like and don't like. Everyone likes different art! We celebrate 'mistakes' as 'opportunities' within the creative process.
Go Sketch Club aims to develop young artists into self confident, imaginative and creative thinking adults of tomorrow.

I LOVE your approach and the way your personality shines through. It's given me and my daughter a lot more confidence to try things, and she's gradually overcoming her perfectionist tendencies. Very pleased to have found you. Your course is the first thing I've found that I feel is really helping her in a guided but free way. THANK YOU.

We celebrate 'mistakes'
We believe that to make art you need to take risks and we celebrate the fact that you may not always like what you draw. That is part of the creative process and something that every artist goes through!
We offer support
You can send us a message, email or even request a skype session if you feel you need any support. We love hearing from you!

Why is it important to create art?
It develops problem solving and creative thinking skills
It improves a child's fine motor skills (more fun than handwriting practise!)
It develops a child's emotional intelligence by giving them a way to express themselves
It is a mindful and calm activity so great for general well-being
The creative process helps the child develop the essential life skill of perseverance
and it's fun!

Creativity is the key
We believe in the power of creative thought and taking risks so we encourage everyone to develop their own projects using the art skills we teach along the way. No step by step, instead pure creativity through and through!
Learn At Your Own Pace
You can use any device at any time and anywhere! Resume exactly where you left off. There are no limits to the number of times you can view a video lesson so you can come back again and again!
Increase Artistic Confidence
Both drawing more often and learning to accept that sometimes drawing something you don't like is an essential part of the creative process will help to increase your artistic confidence as well as your skills.
