Dear sketchers,
How about exploring the Limpertsberg area this time?
There are plenty of interesting places sketch and pubs to visit for our next sketchcrawl.
Let's meet on Sunday 7 June 2015 at 2 pm in front of the Grand Théâtre near the Glacis.
See you next week! :)

Sketching at Kaale Kaffi
Last Sunday's sketchcrawl meeting was thwarted by the rain, so we did the next best thing: we went to Kaale Kaffi.
Kaale Kaffi is a peculiar and very interesting place I first discovered during a sketchcrawl with Leen. It is a mixture between a coffee shop, a second-hand shop and an antiques shop.
From outside it looks like a regular second-hand shop, but when you look closely you discover that you can go in and spend time surrounded by a variety of old objects and clothes.
Most items can be purchased, which is why the inside setup changes on a regular basis.
So the rain pushed us to go in and we ended up spending over 2 hours there with Leen, Carlo and Aniela.
There are so many interesting things that the most difficult part is to choose what to sketch. I think I could fill a whole sketchbook with this place alone.
As an example of the variety of objects you can find there, I was sitting next to a mannequin set up in a running motion, standing by a table with an old candelabra and picture frame (complete with the old sepia picture) on it.
Next time I will try to make a sketch of the place as a whole. I think it will take me at least 2 hours, but it would definitely be fun.
Despite our small numbers, we were quite productive, as you can see below. Thank you, Leen, for this great picture!
