Trinity Buoy Wharf Sunday 22 June 12:45 – 4:00

sketchmob

Trinity Buoy Wharf is a vibrant mix of futurism and rare industrial history.  The Thameside location where all the buoys and markers for the River Thames were once made and repaired, it is now home of container city; an installation of shipping containers; repurposed into artists’ studios, offices and a riverside café. It is also the location of the lighthouse (and it is still here) where Victorian scientist Michael Faraday, experimented with the conduction of electricity in 1863.

The ENO make all their props there, the Princes Drawing School have their Foundation Year Art School there. Add to this the Parkour Academy and the 40’s food joint FatBoy’s Diner and the fleet of Thames Clippers, based here – at one of London’s longest piers, stunning views of the river and the Millennium dome and you have a sketchers dream location. We owe a huge thanks to John Burton and the staff at TBW for offering us this unique opportunity to sketch at the site.

Gather for a swift tour of the site at 12:45 then we sketch from 1:00 – 4:00 p.m. If you are new to Sketchmob make sure to register now and you will be invited to all future events. Then you just pitch up with a sketchbook. All free, all welcome

Saturday 17th May
12:00 -1:15

We will be Sketchmobbing in the grounds of The Geffrye Museum as part of The Chelsea Fringe; an alternative gardening festival that pops up all over London and further afield at this time of year. With access to the fantastic gardens and giant plant filled tea bowl installations of The Chelsea Fringe it promises to be a great trip out. The Geffrye Museum houses a permanent display of eleven period rooms which span from around 1600 to the present day, with award winning herb and period gardens. This is a great opportunity to practice drawing people, plants and the landscape.

Meet Bidisha outside the museum by the Chelsea Fringe sign, sketch in the grounds. Meet back with Bidisha at 1:15 to look at what you have drawn.

N.B. If this event proves extremely popular, we will arrange one group to attend at 12.00 and then a second group at 13.00.

Get there from Old Street tube (15 minute walk) of Hoxton Station overground

SKETCHMOB 2014
National Portrait Gallery St Martin’s Place, London WC2H 0HE
Friday 21 February from 6:45 to 8:15

 

Where do David Bowie, Winston Churchill, and Lawrence of Arabia rub shoulders with Kate Moss and Cate Blanchett?. Where can you see the alternative world history, recreated in images of the outstanding characters that made it? Opened in 1856 the National Portrait Gallery has a unique collection of photographic and painted / drawn portraits of historical and not so historical figures that make great subjects for drawing. The photographic galleries make you look at people you thought you knew all over again. Sculptures and death masks are also in abundance in sumptuous galleries that make compelling viewing. If you are the lone sketcher in your family, relationship, or group of friends this is the place to bring them while you draw.
Join us at 6:45 in the gallery’s main entrance. Trevor will give some quick tips on how to sketch heads. We will be drawing for an hour and a half, then we will have a short review of the sketches and  migrate to a local pub for an optional drink.
