SUMMARY:Preservation Trades Workshops: Danforth Street Sketching Tour
DESCRIPTION:Sunday\, June 1\, 2025 \n(Rain date: Sunday June 8) \n9:00am to 12:00pm \nDrawing for Tradespeople \nDrawing is an important skill for preservation tradespeople. These graphic skills help them see the buildings with clarity\, and help them communicate with their fellow tradespeople and customers. Tradespeople will receive the famous Mind/Hand/Heart triangle certificate of completion for this important aspect of the Preservation Trades Training Program. Bring your sketchbook or clipboard and pencils. Bring your lunch if you intend to also go on the afternoon sketching tour. \n1:00 to 5:00 p.m.\nFree to the public: Sketching tour on Danforth Street \nSunday afternoon we’ll start at Victoria Mansion and saunter down Danforth Street\, to observe\, appreciate and sketch the historic houses\, both grand and modest. Learn about the various historic time periods and architectural styles that contribute to our cultural heritage here in Portland. \nNo special artistic talent or drawing skill required. Simply looking at old buildings gives you an impression of them. While sketching these buildings you will actually see them in a new light and come to possess a deeper understanding of their shape\, form\, and design. \nThe public is welcome at no cost. Bring your own sketchbook and pencils\, or clipboard\, paper\, and pencils. \nThe sketching tour is part of the Victoria Mansion’s ongoing Preservation Trades Training Program.
