*SATURDAY, AUGUST 17^TH 2013:Sketchers will meet at 10am on the plaza just outside the museum gift shop. We'll sketch around the outdoor area of the museum until 12:30 and then meet again to share our sketchbooks. ***If you pay the fee to go inside the museum you may sketch inside the museum hot shop--however, we're not sure about the feasibility of sketching in other places inside the Museum. Ask permission.) There are a multitude of places to sketch outdoors.** *Museum of Glass, Tacoma*.1801 Dock Street Tacoma, Washington 98402 - 3217 *We'll meet rain or shine*. (If it's a rainy day (real rain--not a sprinkle or two), meet as above and we'll revise our location to a nearby spot.) *All levels of sketching ability are welcomed*! Bring whatever sketching materials you enjoy--remember sun protection. A folding stool or chair can be handy...although in this sketch-out location there are a lot of places to sit down without gear. There is _parking at the museum_ for a _FEE_. At the _parking garage across from Freighthouse Square_ there is a _FREE_ parking (check wall signage for the 'unlimited time' spots). Between the parking garage and the Freighthouse Square is the stop for the FREE light rail that goes right down town. Get off at the Union Station stop and walk over the bridge behind Union Station to the Museum of glass. Some of us bring our lunches and sometimes stay longer to sketch some more, but if you like to 'do lunch' after sketching, there is a restaurant in the museum, and also quite a few up on Pacific Ave. There are two interesting places for art supplies nearby: the UW Bookstore (1754 Pacific--open Sat. 9-5) and Tinkertopia(1914 Pacific-open Sat.10-6) -- Buckmaster Studio, Puyallup WA 98371 USA www.flickr.com/photos/northwestdrawing fbuckmas@ix.netcom.com
