Explore the art of still life by sketching everyday objects.
This drop-in program invites participants to observe and sketch real-world objects and discover beauty in the everyday with simple tools like pencils, pens, or markers. Members will draw objects such as plants, cups, books, or fruit. Participants are encouraged to slow down and notice shape, shadow and detail to create one or more still life drawings at their pace. Ideal for beginners and experienced artists alike.
The first Hamilton Public Library building opened on September 16, 1890 by the Earl and Countess of Aberdeen on the north side of Main Street West. In 1913, a new main library opened. This building was replaced in 1980 by Central Library, at the current location on York Boulevard.
In 2010, Central Library re-opened after approximately 18 months of renovations. Central Library opened with a newly revitalized first floor, which includes a Community Living Room that takes advantage of natural light. The Ontario Library Association honoured Central in 2012 with an Architectural and Design Transformation award.
