Artist Walking Workshop at Branscombe House
1 p.m. to 3 p.m.
Stop by Branscombe House to go for an "artist walk" in the yard and surrounding neighbourhood. Slow down to take notice your surroundings and sketch overlooked details of the landscape. A balloon caught in a tree, an initial written in the sidewalk, a hummingbird overhead. Learn to look at the world through the eyes of an artist and the ordinary becomes captivating, worthy of documentation and celebration. Following the walk, return to the house and compile your sketches to make a collaborative map of the neighbourhood's meaningful minutiae. Open to all ages and experience levels.
