Join local artist Jennifer York for an introduction to sketching workshop at the Charleston Museum. Using items from the Museum’s collection as inspiration, York will teach sketching from direct observation in both pencil and pen, enlivened by colored and watercolor pencils. Participants will walk away from this workshop with multiple smaller practice sketches and one larger final sketch. This workshop is open to beginners and participants of all skill levels, age 13 and up. All supplies and equipment provided. Register online or call 843-722-2996 ext. 235.

The Charleston Museum is home to an extensive ornithology collection including taxidermy mounts, eggs, nests, and study skins collected by both early and contemporary naturalists.
