About

Sketching is an important skill shared by makers across many disciplines! BARN is offering a weekly sketching group for the community to practice and improve their drawing skills. Sessions will include visual prompts and an opportunity to ask questions as you practice. Michael Gunderson, a veteran BARN instructor, facilitates these sessions. 

Details:

• Paper and pencils will be supplied if needed, or participants are encouraged to use their own sketchbooks and drawing tools.
• This activity is only open to everyone in the community! Please register to get your name on our contact list and receive updates about the program, even if you don't plan to come every week. Just drop by when you can, as often as you like!

Facilitator Bio:

Michael Gunderson moved to Bainbridge Island after a thirty-plus year career in California Public education. His degree is in the arts and has taught classes in art, jewelry, ceramics, and the trades, as well as serving as an activities and athletic director. He is a founding member of BARN and a past lead of BARN Woodworking.

Michael thinks of himself as a person who solves visual problems. He proposes a situation and looks to openly create a visual answer, whether it be paint, wood or combinations of media. “Drawing is a language that creatives share,” he said recently. His sketchbook is a companion that he converses with daily.
