Outdoor Sketchbooking

Do you like to sketchbook? Are you interested in starting? Join Brooklyn Bridge Park educators and other like-minded people in a sketchbooking meet-up. Each time, we will meet at a different location in the park to concentrate on different subjects and stretch our skills. Come to one event or come to all. It’s up to you. These are informal sessions with some instruction for those who are new to the practice as well as an open exchange of ideas, techniques, and materials.

This month we will be exploring the John Street section of the park and concentrating on architecture (the NYC skyline, the Manhattan Bridge, etc). Meeting point will be at the Manhattan Bridge viewing area, near the salt marsh.

We encourage you to bring your own, favorite sketching materials, but we will provide some for those who don’t have. This program is intended for adults, although older teens are welcome as well. Advanced registration is encouraged but not required. There will be 25 spots available on a first-come-first-served basis.

Accessibility Note: This workshop will take place at the John Street section of the park. Most of the paths are paved. All steps are optional. Seating is available on benches. Partial shade. The closest bathrooms are at 99 Plymouth Street. Please reach out to education@bbp.nyc for any accessibility needs or questions.
