We will be meeting for some sketching at the amazing Petone Winter Carnival on Saturday, 3rd August. The Carnival is held along the Petone Foreshore, and there will be everything from fire sculptures, fireworks, the Polar Plunge, a food fair and market, music, a circus, street performers, and heaps more. It should be a really fun afternoon, so come and enjoy it and get some great sketching in as well.
Where to meet: We will meet on the Petone shore, where Petone Wharf meets the beach. Then we will move around the carnival sketching whatever takes our fancy.
When to meet: Meet Sharon/Kerrie at 3pm, on Saturday, 3rd August.
RSVP: You don't have to rsvp and can just turn up if you like. However, at a busy event like this, you will probably need to rsvp to our to get our mobile number to text if you can't find us, as we may be hard to spot.
Wet weather: I don't know what the actual Petone Winter Carnival event is doing if the weather is awful, but if the weather is too rainy for sketching, Wellington Sketchers won't go sketching as a group there (there isn't really much in the way of undercover stuff to sketch there). The weather report is a bit sketchy, so we'll make a call in the morning by 10am. Check the website, or txt us to find out whether we are cancelling the sketching meetup due to bad weather or not. (If we have to cancel going to the Petone Winter Carnival, we will go to the City Art Gallery in Civic Square instead - what this space).
