Slow down, look around, and try your hand at sketching 🖊️🎨

In the latest Uniquely Issaquah story, meet Eastside Sketchers, a group that brings people together to sketch local places like Gilman Town Hall and the Issaquah Farmers Market and notice the details we often pass by.

“I hear from a lot of people that once they start sketching they see things different, they find beauty in the most unlikely places,” says founder Eva Moon. “You start to notice.”

The group welcomes everyone from experienced artists to absolute beginners. Learn more about Eastside Sketchers and how to get involved: bit.ly/EastsideSketchers
