Open Studio

Open Studio: Saturday, 10 – 3 PM

Twice a month, Sunbury Shores offers an opportunity to engage with others in the shared space of the Main Studio. These sessions are not topic driven and no artist will lead. Instead, it’s time for creation in a collaborative environment. Bring your own materials and artworks in progress and share ideas and skills. For all levels of experience. Coffee and tea provided.

It's a Draw

Its A Draw: Drawing exercises: Sunday, 1 – 3 PM

It’s a Draw is a group led session for drawing practice and exploration. It’s similar to life drawing, but instead of deciding on the type and duration of poses together, exercises will be selected from the provided box of prompts with suggested times. These prompts will range from drawing warmups to different types of exercises with a focus on experimental drawing and observational drawing. Think of it as a social drawing exercise session. The loose and messy companion to figure drawing. 

Life Drawing

Life Drawing: Sunday, 1 – 3 PM

 

Practice drawing the human figure in our monthly Life Drawing sessions. Warm up through a series of short poses then work on proportion, gesture, and shape through longer studies. This is a great opportunity to practice anatomy as well as observational skills to improve your drawing practice, no matter the subject.

Hands On

Hands On: A directed craft or art project for all ages: 1 – 3 PM

The activities will be released throughout the year. See here or the events page for updates.
