The Great Fall Sketch Mob
Friday, October 10, 3 p.m.
There is a current movement called the Urban Sketch Mob. Instead of people randomly dancing and singing together in train stations, shopping centers, etc., one person sits down with a sketch book and others join in until there is a whole studio. If cities can do it, we certainly can out here in the Back Forty! Bring your sketch book or a plain old piece of paper and join in for an hour of sketching/doodling here on the farm. The goal for this initial Rural Sketch Mob is 5 people. How marvelous would it be to exceed that?
