SEVEN collective

SEVEN is a Creative Sketchbook Collective, based in Leigh on sea, Essex, UK. Formed in January 2017 by local artists who met on a Creative Journal course, we have as a group, continued to develop our art practice using creative sketchbooks and altered books.

We think of our sketchbooks as the ideal space for artistic experimentation; a place where doodling is encouraged, where anything can be an art material, and mistakes can provide inspiration. Making our altered books is a way of repurposing a second hand/found book to give it a new narrative and meaning. The books we create are very tactile and full of texture; and we love to share our explorations.
