COCHIN HERITAGE CARNIVAL 2022: CHRISTMAS SPECIAL SKETCH WALK WITH URBAN SKETCHERS KOCHI

About the walk

Christmas Special Sketch Walk

The Kochi Heritage Project and Urban Sketchers Kochi take you on a Christmas Special Sketch Walk in this year's Cochin Heritage Carnival and invite explorers and art enthusiasts through Ernakulam's oldest business district, Broadway, as we hear tales and stories of a bygone era while engaging in sketching the sights of Christmas and the festive spirit in the air. Everyone who wants to do something arty and offbeat on a Saturday are invited. You get to rekindle your love for drawing and sketching and make a fun outing of it. We will then join for breakfast (not included), some chai pe charcha on sketching and review of the works created through the walk.
