The 7th USK Symposium took place in Manchester from 27th to 31th of July.
Urban Sketchers from around the world gathered during at least 4 days for common sketchcrawl, workshops and events.
What an incredible experience!
Beliza was in London for the warm-up a few days before. Leen and I were in Manchester for the symposium. We can only recommend all of you to get that experience one day!
Day#1
Sketchers arrived from around the world and directly started sketching across the city.

| Albert Square in front of the City Hall is a wonderful Biergarten |
| 500 sketchers welcomed in the City Hall of Manchester |
The workshops begin. In the morning all sketchers meet at the Manchester School of Art and gathered for their workshops in All Saints Park nearby.
| Leen is ready for her first workshop! |
And Zita was there too! (3 luxembourgish residents at the Symposium!)
| Protected from the rain under the bridge, the sketchers used just brushes and watercolor, no primary sketch was allowed... |
| It is hard to change your habits but the result is astonishing |
