Sand Drawing and Photography
Join a Sand Drawing and Photography Workshop with Make it Better CIC
Connect with likeminded quieteers for a Sand Drawing and Photography session at Great Western Beach, Newquay on Friday 3 October 2025 at 10am.
This Pop Up Meet Up is designed to help you enjoy something you might not normally do with likeminded people in a calm and gentle way that feels authentic to your true quiet self. It’s a safe space for you to have a go at something fun and perhaps gently stretch your comfort zone as part of a community of quieteers who truly get you.
We can’t wait to welcome you.

Hello fellow quieteers, I’m Julie and I’ve been engaging with Quiet Connections since 2018, starting with some coaching, then moving into helping out with creative activities and exhibitions.
I consider myself sensitive and introverted. I enjoy going to music events- gigs and festivals, film screenings, and creative workshops however I find myself easily drained by social interactions, and need regular periods of solitude to recharge.
As a child, my shyness was thought of as strange and distant; throughout my life I have been called moody, rude, even snobbish and definitely boring. To this day, I can sense that my quietness is unnerving for some people but I’ve grown to be comfortable with my way of being with this world. My quiet qualities are my superpowers. If I don’t respond immediately I’m processing information and am still engaging with other than verbal communication.
Through showing me acceptance, Quiet Connections has helped me grow in confidence and self belief. Now I hope to support others to explore, develop and cherish their quiet strengths too.
What to expect

The group will meet at Great Western Beach at low tide, and we are going to draw geometric shapes in the sand. This will allow you to create some great photographs, exploring action and composition.
Theres a cafe and loos close by, there is a road down to the beach but it will be steep on the way back.
