Where It All Began
For more than 12 years, our legendary Drawing Lab sessions thrived in the Santa Cruz art education community. Then Covid came to town. Sadly we had to close our popular little studio in 2021.
Students who participated in Drawing Lab fondly remember the camaraderie and encouragement they experienced while learning new skills and techniques at the Scribbles Institute. And who could forget all those delicious snacks we ate while discussing our drawings.
Check out the music video we made several years ago, featuring adult and youth Drawing Lab students. You might even see someone you know.
During all those years, we also expanded the Drawing Lab program out to 9 high schools in Santa Cruz and Monterey Counties, where Rob taught his Block/Sketch/Draw method to hundreds of students.
Everything we’ve learned from our Drawing Lab program, as well as Rob’s Premium Membership sessions and on-location workshops, has become the foundation for rebuilding the new Scribbles Institute.
Our home base is now Pacific Grove, California. We look forward to serving Central Coast students—from Monterey to Santa Cruz—through our new workshop program. We’re also excited about launching Scribbles Institute Publishing, featuring books written and illustrated by Rob.
