Spend a morning sketching the River Thame and discovering nature through art. No experience needed.

Join River Thame Conservation Trust on Sunday, 16 August, from 10 am to 1 pm at The Old Fisherman in Shabbington (near Thame) to sketch the River Thame.

We'll spend the morning looking closely at the river through drawing, painting and sketching. It's a chance to really get to know this stretch of the river, so it doesn't matter whether you paint every day or haven't picked up a crayon since primary school.

Help and guidance will be available if you'd like it, and we'll finish by sharing our work together at 1 pm. You're welcome to stay afterwards and have lunch at the pub if you'd like (lunch is optional and at your own expense).

If you have your own art materials, please bring them along. If you'd like us to provide paper and markers, just let us know on the booking form. We don't want cost to be a barrier to anyone taking part, so materials are available free of charge.

We suggest bringing something firm to draw on, such as a sketch board or large book, and a portable chair or stool so you can choose a comfortable spot to sketch. As we'll be outdoors, please dress for the weather.

If you're in a position to do so and would like to support future events like this, donations to River Thame Conservation Trust are always welcome. This event was made possible through funding from the Connected Communities Fund.
