Cafes and Cathedrals


Well, only one cathedral actually, but various cafes to compensate. Yes, it's nearly time for the 3rd Sheffield Sketchcrawl - are your pencils all sharpened and ready?

Snow permitting, we are meeting in town at 10am this coming Saturday: that's December 4th. Here is the itinerary of the sketching venues for the day, so you can join us en route, if you wish:

10.00
- 11.00: Starbucks on Devonshire Street

11.00 -
12.00: The Forum opposite (we have the conservatory area booked for maximum views!)

12.00: walk down Division St

12.10
- 12.45: City Hall foyer (because there's only so much coffee you can drink!)


12.45: walk to Bank Street

1.00 - 2.00: lunch at Bank St Arts (tea and coffee available, but bring a packed lunch)


2.00 - 4.00 / 4.30: Sheffield Cathedral (drawing the rehearsals for the evening's concert)

4.00 - 4.30: or when you've had enough, walk to Trippet Lane

4.30ish - 5.30: The Grapes (we are booked in)


I booked us into Bank St Arts at lunchtime, as I realised we'd never fit a big group of us into any of the regular cafes for lunch, not on a Saturday so close to Christmas! Bank St Arts has more to offer anyway, as it's also a small gallery, with an interesting mixed show on just now, so once you've done munching, you can have a browse round that too if you fancy.


We will spend the whole afternoon in the cathedral, as there will be so much to go at: as well as the actually building, there will be a choir and a small orchestra. They won't mind us milling about, and we get free entertainment while we draw. How nice.

Bring your sketching gear, money for drinks, sandwiches and a brolly for the walking between venues, just in case. The cathedral should be heated but you might want something soft to sit on - those wooden benches are hard as iron after a bit!

As usual, we'll have a look at what we've created once we get to the pub, and pat each other on the back.

If you've not been before, don't worry - it is an extremely friendly, supportive and non-competitive event. Everyone is welcome: just turn up, or email me if you want to go on my sketchcrawl mailing list. Give it a go - it's fun and it's free!

It's so bizarre that you are in 20 degree heat while we're in minus figures!

Hello to the munchkins!
