Organised by local artist, Tina Johnson, Sketchy Folks is a regular meetup for the local community of makers in Nanaimo where you get to talk, create, make, and share art ideas. Create whatever you like during the meetup or follow one of the drawing prompts provided. These prompts are usually fun and silly, but we will also look at different ways to draw flowers and plants for this one. Cost: By donation, but open to anyone with or without a donation. Every donation to NALT over $20 will receive a $10 gift certificate for plants at the nursery. Bring: A chair Paper/A sketchbook Whatever you want to draw with: Pen, pencil, crayon, pastel etc Your enthusiasm and fun!

A free meetup organized by Peggy of the Nanaimo Sketch Club focused on Urban Sketching. Beginner scribblers, seasoned professional artists, everyone in-between! We’ll meet at Silver Meadows Farm Market in the parking lot near the market for a non-guided sketching and chit-chat session, Saturday June 27th, at 10am for about two hours. I haven’t been, but I trust everyone who’s been recommending this place, so let’s do it! We’ll try to get back together around noon to take a group snap of our sketches - but if you feel you don't want to participate in that, that's totally fine. Bring: Your sketchbook, your favourite drawing / painting implements, and a portable chair. See you soon!
