Drawing the Port City: Sketching Workshop with Ross Potter

Drawing the Port City: Sketching Workshop with Ross Potter

Join Ross Potter for an urban sketching workshop drawing from UDLA's central Freo balcony – with views over Cantonment Street, Market Street, and the Fremantle Port.

The focus will be on composition and confidence rather than perfection – learning to capture the character of urban places through sketching fundamentals.

All materials provided, including snacks and a beverage.

The workshop will be held Saturday 24 Oct, 1-4pm.

All money from ticket sales will be donated to St Pat's
