Welcome to PIBC Summer Sketch School, hosted by the South Coast Chapter, in collaboration with Erick Villagomez!

This hands-on workshop will explore sketching as a tool for observation, communication, and storytelling. Through a series of engaging exercises, participants will discover how drawing can help capture ideas, interpret places, and communicate experiences and insights to others. The focus will be on seeing, editing, and visual storytelling rather than drawing technique, making the session accessible to participants of all skill levels. No previous drawing experience is required.

Please bring your own sketchbook and drawing utensils. A pencil and pen is recommended.
