Ruinart Sundown Sketch Club

Overview

The Museum of Contemporary Art Australia's super-popular art workshop program is back. Inspired by the gallery's popular Sundown Sketch Club, these two-hour Wednesday evening sketching workshops are led by Sydney-based artist Will French and will take place throughout August.

The classes focus on still life drawing, with participants using a range of fine art materials and getting a few tips from French along the way. The ever-changing installation is inspired by the 17th-century champagne-making houses and cellars in France, which are UNESCO World Heritage listed. And the evening is capped off with nibbles, cheese, Ruinart blanc de blanc and a backdrop of Sydney Harbour.

There'll also be an olfactory challenge each night, too, with the winner taking home a bottle of Ruinart.

The first workshop will take place on Wednesday, August 7, with sessions following on August 14, 21 and 28, all running from 6.30–8.30pm.

Tickets are $75 and beginners are welcome. Just make sure to book ahead as these events have sold out (quickly) in the past.
