The Pepper Street Arts Centre Sketch Group hosts recurring portrait sitting sessions every Thursday afternoon, starting from April 23, 2026, in the Centre's Art Room. Volunteers serve as the sole sitter for a 2-hour session from 13:30 to 15:30, allowing artists to practice sketching portraits in a relaxed atmosphere. Participants receive complimentary afternoon tea and take home unique sketch copies as keepsakes, with the only requirement being the ability to sit still. This free, volunteer-based event supports local creativity and is generally suited to adults, though those under 18 may participate with a parent or guardian present. Sessions must be booked in advance via Eventbrite, and reliability is appreciated as replacements are challenging.
