What if you had the time and support to create–to paint, to draw, and to explore?
You can at Sketch Club. If you’re an emerging or an established artist who feels called to create, but struggles to find the time and space to create, we’re building this community for you.
Sketch Club is for you if you crave a friendly environment and a passionate creative community.
As working artists, we’ve experienced firsthand the barriers that keep so many people from realizing their artistic dreams. Barriers like:
accessing high-quality instruction
- having the time and money to invest in a full-time program
- trying to carve out time consistently to create as a working adult
- working in isolation and trying to learn and grow on your own

“It’s such a joy to do art with you! I love our time together and it’s such a gift to me and my mind. I love the way that I’m seeing things differently because of your training. I already love nature, but I am appreciating it even more now.”

THE SETTING
These mini-retreats are conveniently located in West Knox, in a 20+ acre pastoral setting with fields, woods, lake access, and a modern office.
You can create indoors, in a bright, airy space or outside under a covered pavilion.
Or, if you’d love some quiet time on the water, you can walk down a wooded trail to a dock on the Tennessee River.
THE SUPPLIES
From colored pencils to coloring pages, from paints to high-quality paper, we’ve got you covered! We’ll have art supplies on hand, or you’re welcome to bring your own.

“I love painting, but haven’t had the time to actually paint–or felt like I didn’t have the time–in the last few years. Cordelia created an environment and provide the encouragement that got me back into my practice. I felt cared for and supported in a way that I never experienced in art school.”
