Ages 16+ 

Come have fun sketching with Katy Vigeland while learning how to create opportunities to work a sketch into your busy day. Whether you are a beginner or just need a reboot to get you sketching again, this class will help. We will spend the day having fun exploring different materials, styles, and techniques which will leave you with a ton of ideas to pursue on your own. We will draw from props that Katy provides, draw each other, and even venture out in public to sketch. For those who have taken sketching classes from Katy before, there are many new exercises as well as  some favorites! Bring a sack lunch, we will not only eat it but sketch it too!
