Sketching, Painting & Watching Birds - A Workshop
Tickets will go on sale soon!
Got birds on the brain? Join artist and museum professional Madison Mayfield for a day of birding and sketching to fill that bird-sized hole in your life! In this 3.5 hour workshop, you’ll go birding in Cowen/Ravenna Park (binocs provided or BYO), learn to identify your common local birds, gain an understanding for bird anatomy (using real taxidermy specimens from the Burke Museum) and learn how to sketch and even paint your favorite birds! Class fee includes all necessary art supplies that attendees will get to take home at the end of the day.
This class is open to novices and experts alike! We will be birding rain or shine, so be sure to bring a rain jacket.

What should I bring with me to the workshop?
All needed art and birding supplies will be provided, but you are always welcome to bring your own binoculars and art supplies if you would like! We only ask that you not bring oil paints as those can get a little bit messy.
What is the accessibility of this workshop?
We will spend the first hour of the workshop walking around Ravenna park looking for birds. Unfortunately, many of the trails in this park are not wheelchair accessible. If you have accessibility needs and have additional questions about access to the bird watching portion of this workshop, please email Madison at mayfieldillustration@gmail.com.
Will food be provided?
No food will be provided as part of this workshop. We will wrap up right before lunchtime so if you need to pack food for after the workshop or would like to bring snacks for during, please feel free to do so.
