Gems at the J | Intro to Drawing Nature
2026-08-19 08:00 - 17:00 | Ashbridge Park, 1301 Montgomery Ave, Bryn Mawr, PA, 19010, United States
For over 40 years, John Sappington, working as an art therapist. “I had to convince people that in fact they all had the potential to create wonderful drawings, but they simply needed to have that door opened. I have developed a series of easy, accessible steps that will allow participants to open their own creative and imaginative doors, to be proud of the art they have begun to produce, and to keep doing it, since it has been proven that making art improves the quality of our lives.”
No matter what your skill level, your past experience (or lack of experience), or your age, my goal is always the same… to have you succeed with your creativity and imagination, to learn to SEE after many lookings, and to have fun doing it. So let’s open that door, and let’s have some fun doing it! For this class we will be using the Ashbridge Park as inspiration to draw nature in the Summer sunlight! This class will take place on the covered porch of Ashbridge House, rain or shine.
Transportation can be provided from the JCC for a nominal fee of $10.
