This walk will join the Waterloo Region Urban Sketching chapter as part of a nation wide sketch walk. The walk differs a bit from many traditional Jane’s Walks in that we will be stopping at 3-4 sites to sketch a few features of the park. There may be some discussion along the way about the park but the main focus in on drawing the scene in front of you.
Bring your own drawing materials and a small stool or something to sit on.
No experience is needed. Everyone is welcome. Just bring some paper and any mark-making instrument and give it a try.

This will be the 4th time KW Hungry Minds has hosted a walk through Kitchener downtown area. We talk about the changes that we see – new buildings and businesses as well as the ones that we see are now missing. We talk about how we feel about the change, how it has impacted our interaction with the city, and what we see on the horizon for the future. Everyone welcome to come and share their point of view and experience.
If you can’t make it on Saturday, we are repeating the walk on Sunday. The conversation is sure to be different on each day, so feel free to come to both.
