Feather and Bone: One-Day Drawing Class at the Burke Museum, University of Washington

November 23, 2025

Did I need a deep plunge into a new blog site, right when such a time-consuming challenge really didn’t fit into my crowded calendar? The answer, no surprise, is “no” but at least I was able to navigate the mind-befuddling process of transferring the data from my old platform to this new, AI-enhanced version of good ol’ WordPress. My previous experience of working on good ol’ WordPress wasn’t stellar, so I’m hoping to improve my relationship with it asap. So far I have been able to upload my seasonally appropriate squash painting! But now, HOW do I get rid of “Hello World!” which was placed there by Good Ol. I’m not sure about this, but I think Good Ol’s default tips will stay on this, my First Post until I figure out how to discretely remove them without being told “This is not a good idea.” At least I got my squash up on this new site for your viewing pleasure! Happy Thanksgiving :-).

As one of the spring classes offered by the North Cascades Institute, Specimen Drawing at the Burke Museum: Feather and Bone is now open for registration. Class will be held on Sunday, April 22, 2012, from 10 am – 5 pm. This is an opportunity for those especially interested in natural objects to practice drawing with me as your instructor. We'll be using the elegant forms of animal bones and bird feathers and wings as subjects. A naturalist will also be in the classroom to offer insights into the forms and functions of the objects we'll be working from. We'll pack in as much instruction and practice as we can in one day. Some art supply items will be provided so that beginners don't have to invest too much time or money in them for this short course. The central location of the museum, its inspiring collections and the one-day format will provide a novel retreat for the participants. To visit the Burke Museum online, click here.
