Friday 6th October
Hazlehurst Urban Sketchers - cost Free
Hazlehurst Studios is excited to announce the launch of our inaugural urban sketching group. This informal gathering will be led by our resident studio artist, Allison John, a dedicated urban sketcher.
What is Urban Sketching? Urban Sketchers is a global artistic community that specializes in sketching on location within the cities, towns, and villages they call home or explore while traveling. This creative movement originated on Flickr in 2007, thanks to the efforts of journalist Gabriel Campanario.
It's a fantastic day out, spent with kindred spirits, sketching the beauty of your local surroundings. This is an excellent opportunity, especially if you're a bit apprehensive about sketching in public on your own. Plus, you'll have the chance to connect with fellow locals who share your passion for sketching.
What Should You Bring? Make sure to dress appropriately for the ever-changing British weather! Bring your preferred sketching materials.
Our inaugural gathering will take place at Hazlehurst Studios, starting at 10 am and concluding at 2 pm. We'll enjoy a leisurely local stroll and take a break for lunch. You're welcome to bring a packed lunch to enjoy in a sociable atmosphere.
