September sketchbook club - intro to drawing pencils

wednesday, september 10th

5:30 - 7:00 PM

crossing arts members: $5

non-member pricing: $10

ages 15+

Join us every second Wednesday of the month at The Crossing Arts Alliance for an inspiring and fun gathering of art enthusiasts. Whether you're a seasoned sketchbooker or just starting, this club offers something for everyone!

New to using drawing pencils? Then the September Sketchbook Club will be a great start for you! This month we go over the basics of using Faber Castell's graphite pencils (B, HB, 2B, 4B, 6B, and 8B) and work on a couple of drawing projects in our sketchbook. 

Sketchbooks will be available to purchase at The Crossing Arts at a special Sketchbook Club rate. 

Pre-registration is required to participate, and it truly makes a difference! Our club has a monthly registration, and we need a minimum of five participants to hold each session. If fewer than five people are registered by noon on the day of the event, the class will be canceled. In that case, those who pre-registered will receive a cancellation phone call, and we’ll also notify our Crossing Arts email list.

If you're excited to spend some creative time with us, please register as soon as possible to secure your spot as space is limited - we’d love to have you! Prefer to pay in person? Just give us a call ahead of time so we know to expect you.
