Welcome to the Sketcher Fest Hub! Use this space to share information, connect with fellow artists and plan your next sketching adventure in the Pacific Northwest and beyond.
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?
I did an AM and PM workshop last year. Both really great but I chose to just do one workshop this year. I was a bit gassed by the second workshop and wished I'd had a bit more time for the Sketch walks.
Thanks very much, Melissa - that's super helpful, thanks for taking the time to share your experience!
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 😊)
@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. 🤔
