Sketchbook Workshop

Conducted by Lori Whitaker

WORKSHOP DATE: Saturday, May 14, 2022 (2-4 PM)  

ABOUT THE WORKSHOP

Did you ever wonder where artists get inspiration for their work? 

Sketchbooks have been a tool used by artists for many years to record thoughts, images, and ideas. In this workshop you will learn how to make a personal sketchbook to record your own creative ideas.

Students will learn the basic elements that go into making a sketchbook, including paper choice, binding, and embellishments. Participants will also create a travel tin to carry sketching tools. When your book is complete, we will take it outside and do a simple sketching exercise to start you on your own creative journey.

This workshop is presented in connection with the exhibition, A Journey in Color and Line: Drawing the Metroplex, which will be on view at the center from May 7 to June 4, 2022.
