Do you love to draw? Ms. Carrie does. DROP IN for a drawing club where you can learn to draw a few items & then have time to color & share your creations. Each session will have a unique theme.

Let's get together and DRAW!  During each drop-in session, you will have the opportunity to learn to draw a few things with Ms. Carrie AND/OR draw on your own using a variety of "how to" drawing cards and books. There will be an "art buffet" of materials available to use to add color to your creations. You can even bring your own colored pencils, markers, etc. to use if you wish.

At your first session, you'll receive a sketch book that we can add pages to each time you come and sketch! Bring your sketchbook each time you come. At the end of each session, we'll have a "mini art show" where you can choose to share any of your drawings with the other artists on the big screen- you can even share things you've done on your own! 

No registration required- come to one or come to all!
