RE: Workshop Request Window

I was happy with how it worked this year. This was my first time, so I don't have any experience with how it used to work. But I felt it was about as fair as it could be. Four of us signed up, and we all eventually got into at least one workshop, most got into two. I had no problem looking over the workshops and deciding which ones I wanted to attend the most; that's pretty much par for the course when signing up for these popular events.

The only suggestion I'd make is to verify you received our workshop requests; and to add that you will be emailing everyone about the results, letting them know whether or not they got into a workshop.

Thanks for all your hard work, and I'm excited to attend!

James Richards or Eleanor Doughty Workshop Please!

If you would like to sell me your ticket for either the James Richards or Eleanor Doughty workshop, I will offer you more than what you paid.

Thanks!

Hi all!

On the off chance that someone is looking to sell their morning workshop ticket to Eleanor Doughty or Santi Salles, I’m interested and would happily pay you for your ticket! Thanks, and I hope everyone has a fun time at the festival. 😊

Hi fellow sketchers!

My name is Rebecca Huval, and I’m from Sacramento, CA, where Priya and I started up Urban Sketchers Sacramento after meeting at Sketcher Fest last year! This will be my second year at Sketcher Fest. I love the atmosphere of mutual learning and camaraderie. Thanks for organizing it, Gabi!

Hi! Yes, we will have Single Tickets for Artist Talks available at the event shop.

Artist pass single tickets

It sounds like I can purchase an Artist talk single ticket at the door. Do I just show up to the talk early and buy one before the room fills up?

Camping

I will be staying in my van over the weekend. Any recommendations for a good campground or place to part that is nearby?

RE: Is Two Workshops Too Much for One Day?

@priyaoriginals Thanks for chiming in.

I was feeling good about taking only a morning workshop, and then one of my preferred afternoon workshops opened up, so now I’ll get to learn firsthand whether two is too much. 🤔

I did two workshops last year and loved it. Signed up for two again this year…I see value in getting insight from the instructors versus going on sketch walks (which I do frequently already 😊)
