London Calling: Sketching by the Thames: with Frank Kiely RE

6 June 2026 
Overview

2.00 - 4.30pm

 

Join artist Frank Kiely for a relaxed sketching event along the Thames at Bankside!

 

Frank works in printmaking, drawing and painting. His sketchbooks capture everyday scenes in London, and other cities around the world. He'll be on hand throughout the afternoon to share tips and encouragement - whether you're a seasoned sketcher or picking up a pencil for the first time. At the end, we'll bring all the drawings together to create one big collective artwork. 

 

Bring your own sketchbook and whatever drawing materials you like, get creative and don't worry about what the finished picture looks like.

All welcome!

 

Free to attend, no booking required. Meet at Bankside Gallery at 2pm for a short introduction from Frank, before heading out to the riverside to sketch.
