Experience Cooper Hewitt’s collection and exhibitions through drawing

In this session, we’ll sketch in the galleries of the Made in America: The Industrial Photography of Christopher Payne exhibition, which explores the combination of human skill and mechanical precision that transform raw materials into objects as diverse as pencils, semiconductors, pianos, and rockets. This exhibition is full of visual imagery to spark the imagination for sketching!  

Drawing prompts, seating, and materials will be provided. Space is limited; first come, first served.
