Registration Required

Walk back in time and enter Betsey Williams Cottage in Roger Williams  Park. Take a unique opportunity to sketch inside this farmhouse built  in 1773. Walk on wide plank floors, see the practical fireplaces and  enjoy period furnishings and artifacts in natural daylight. This class is a first, as the cottage is only occasionally open to the public. Subjects for drawing will include furnishings from the museum archives.  Your instructor, Thea Ernest, will circulate throughout the session to offer feedback. Capacity is limited, so sign up early to guarantee your spot. Program meets at the Betsey Williams  Cottage in Roger Williams Park.
