Saturday Art Group

Saturday Art Group is back at Newby & Scalby Library on Saturday 28 November, one of their regular Saturday morning sessions. It's a straightforward, open-door setup: you turn up, find a spot, and spend the morning working on whatever you're into. There's no set theme, no formal tuition, and no specific project you're expected to follow. If you've got a sketchbook you've been meaning to get into or a half-finished piece that's been sitting in a corner, this is the kind of space to bring it along and actually make some headway.

The beauty of it is that you bring your own materials. Whether that's pencils, paints, charcoal or something else entirely, you're in charge of your own kit and your own pace. It's as much about the company as the work — working alongside other people in the same room, each on their own thing, rather than sitting at a kitchen table on your own. If you're just starting out, it's a low-pressure way to get some hours in without the commitment of a full course.

It's held at Newby & Scalby Library, 450 Scalby Road, Scarborough, YO12 6EE. The session runs from 10:00 am to 12:00 pm, so it's a proper morning slot that leaves the rest of your Saturday open. It's free to join, and while donations to help with running costs are welcome, there's no entry fee to get through the door.
