On Saturday morning you could try your hand at sketching with Mark Kirkham the Edinburgh Sketcher. He is going to be at the Assembly Rooms and he will take you through sketching some of the wonderful features you will find there in the Music Room and Ballroom.
“With helpful instruction from Mark Kirkham, a local artist known as the Edinburgh Sketcher, you will quickly pick up sketching skills while increasing confidence in your own artistic ability as you tour the various rooms of this Georgian venue.
“Once you’ve filled your pages with beautiful ink drawings, we’ll end our tour with tea or coffee and time to add watercolour to your sketches and compare our doodles.
“No previous experience is required for this relaxed and informal drawing tour and all materials are provided.”
There are only a few spaces left so Book your place here!
You could go to POP! On Saturday 22 April 2017 Pedal on Parliament takes place for the sixth year running. This is a peaceful demonstration by cyclists who want to get their message across to the government about infrastructure changes.
The Edinburgh Reporter met with one of the organisers, Kim Harding who told us why they need to keep on speaking up for spending to make cycling safer.
