Visitors of all ages are invited to participate in this hands-on informal workshop with SBMA Teaching Artists. Each month explore a different medium—clay, metal, ink, wood, photography, paper—inspired by works of art in the Museum’s collection or special exhibitions. In August, sketch a display of grapes in ebony pencil on stretched muslin, then add color to the drawing with chalk pastels.
