Draw inspiration from the Transcona Museum collections – join us for Sketch Saturdays. Each session we will bring out different museum objects for participants to draw. We will have 6 seats available, and participants are welcome to attend the whole session or drop-in anytime during program hours. This is not a drawing class but a space to creatively observe and sketch museum objects.
Please note: We encourage you to bring your own supplies, but basic drawing materials like pencils and paper will be available. No wet medias (paint, ink, etc.). Bring headphones if you enjoy your own music or want to block distractions. No food or drinks in the museum galleries, thank you.
