To be Announced

Our thanks are extended to the monitors of these sessions who give up their personal time to plan and attend each session. This is a large commitment and we greatly appreciate it.

You do NOT have to be a member of the Philadelphia Sketch Club to participate in the workshops.

Our workshops are open to anyone who is interested in drawing, painting or printmaking.

All skill levels are welcome. There is no better way to sharpen your skills than to draw or paint from the model. Come to our workshops with materials of your own choosing and get your creative juices flowing! All workshops meet in our historic facility.

The spacious studio space has been freshly renovated. Newly installed gallery lighting–with ultraviolet filters to protect paintings–is ideal for working artists. The space is also lit by natural light.

Please note: Those who use oil paints should bring their own container to remove used turpentine. We ask that you use odorless thinner.

The annual Workshop Show is an opportunity open for all workshop attendees to exhibit their work. Come to draw, paint or make prints, and be a part of this great tradition.
