Lake Superior Design Retreat and Duluth Sketching

In late February I spent a weekend in Duluth, MN for the  Lake Superior Design Retreat, an event put on by the American Institute of Architects, Minnesota Chapter. The event features six design-related speakers who are passionate about their work. Among the six this year was Gabi Campanario, founder of Urban Sketchers!

On the second day of the retreat, Gabi and I led a sketchcrawl through downtown Duluth to Canal Park (with many thanks to Cheryl Fosdick for location scouting). The day after the retreat Gabi and I spent the morning sketching in Canal Park with Daniel Green.

  3. Nice drawings Amber! You encouraged me to use the sketchbook of grey pages that we received in SD.
    I was left behind in this 4th Symposium but I will be in Barcelona anyway. Could you and Daniel reserve a spot for yourselves?
