Hi, I'm Jenny - I created Sketch & Cafe because though I love working at home, I miss the community space that comes with a shared studio. I'm a content creator documenting my self studying illustration journey at Spotted Journal.

Working from home is lonely - The more I reached out for connection, the more I realised I'm not the only one who gets lonely working from home. It helps to chat with other creatives in real life about projects and/or situations I'm feeling stuck or not confident about.

Chatting with similar minded people has changed my life - it really helped me make a leap, read one of my experiences here.

Due to these experiences, I want to create more free & accessible opportunities for others too. So here we are!

Every fortnight creatives meet up - chat & sketch whilst supporting different local cafes around Manchester,UK.

A relaxed space where we can simply be ourselves (No negative comparisons allowed during these events! Put the overthinking and judging aside.)

You never know what you might unlock with the next conversation.
