Event description
We will meet at the Soldiers Memorial at the Midland Railway workshops on Yelverton Drive. After some sketching here, we will visit the new Midland train station and sketch some views of the train lines and hills before making our way to the Town Hall for more sketching. We’ll finish our walk at the Old Midland Courthouse where we will spend some time using our sketches to inspire a piece of writing.
Please bring a cushion or a little portable stool, basically something easy to carry that will help you sit comfortably at our various stops. Sketchbooks and some drawing materials will be provided but feel free to bring your own if you have preferred materials.
Please book in as spaces are limited. This program is suitable for people ages 16+ and is a hands-on workshop. Please book one ticket for each person attending. Photography and videography may be taken at this event. Images and footage may be used by the City of Swan and event organisers for marketing and promotional purposes.
