Workshop Location?

Can someone clarify where the meeting location is for AM workshops? My ticket says Graphite, but the PDF looks like maybe they are at Artworks. Thanks!

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. 😊

Is Two Workshops Too Much for One Day?

This will be my first Sketcher Fest, and I’m fairly new to sketching and haven’t attended a symposium before.

I’m deciding whether to take one or two 3.5-hour workshops in a day. Two sounds appealing, but also potentially a bit exhausting.

I’d be interested to hear how others have approached this, especially first-timers. Did you find one workshop per day more effective, or were you glad you did two? Any advice on striking a good balance?

Amy Stewart’s class 🧡

I would LOVE to attend this workshop so if anyone lucky enough to get a ticket changes their mind, please let me know…I see that classes can be transferred to another attendee, and I’d be so happy to reimburse your cost! This is my great big audacious ask 🧡

Workshop Request Window

Gabriel Campanario — Thu, 12 Mar 2026 02:55:24 +0000

This year we are implementing a new process for workshops registration.

Because workshops are small (limited to 15 participants) and some fill very quickly, we want to avoid the stress of a race-to-click workshop registration. Instead, we are opening a request window between now and March 14.  

Here’s how it works:  

During this request window, please submit your top workshop choice (and a backup) for the morning block and the afternoon block using the Workshop Request Form.

If a workshop has more than 15 requests, names will be selected at random after the window closes.If a workshop does not fill, everyone who requested it will be enrolled.

After assignments are made, you’ll receive an email confirmation and payment link. Payment must be received within 48 hours of when the email confirmation is sent or your spot will be released. It’s very important to watch your email carefully starting March 15. The price per workshop is $175.

After the request window closes and assignments have been made, workshops with open spots will be available on a first-come, first-served basis.  Our goal is to give everyone an equal opportunity to attend a workshop while keeping the process calm and thoughtful.

We hope the approach to workshops registration and ticket sales this year feels fair, transparent and in keeping with the inclusive and community-minded spirit of Sketcher Fest.

Feel free to reply to this thread with any questions related to workshops registration.
