SUMMARY:Sketchcrawl at the Swiss Yodelling Festival\, Basel
DESCRIPTION:Please note: Brought forward to the morning due to the extreme heat  \nAs is well known\, yodelling festivals are celebrated with spontaneous group yodelling\, singing and alphorn playing\, combined with flag-waving in the alleys of the festival grounds. The festival grounds are divided into three zones: the Yodelling Village on Petersplatz\, the Yodelling Mile by the adjacent Petersgraben\, and the ‘Yodelling Hill’ (i.e. the old town alleys). There will be a large number of small and larger festival bars and stalls throughout the area to cater for everyone at the Swiss Festival. An overview of the festival grounds can be found on the site map (link to site map). Access to the festival grounds is generally free. \nWe’ll meet in front of St Peter’s Church. Subjects to sketch can be found directly opposite on Petersplatz\, where the ‘Yodelling Village’ is located\, featuring the open-air stage of the Basler Kantonalbank (BKB). \nFor anyone who’d like to sketch alphorn players\, I recommend the rehearsal area for alphorn performances at the Holbeinschulhaus\, Pausenplatz\, Kanonengasse 9. Google Maps link (a good 10-minute walk from St Peter’s Church) \nMore information \nwww.jodlerfestbasel.ch \n\nThree open-air stages: 1) in the Yodelling Village on Petersplatz (BKB Stage)\, 2) at the Rosshof (Novartis Stage) and 3) on Rümelinsplatz\nAn admission wristband is required to attend the performances\nCategories: Yodelling\, alphorn\, Büchel\, flag-waving\nBackground: At the start of the 20th century\, more people moved from the countryside to the cities in search of work and\, driven by homesickness\, would meet up to sing their songs together. In recent years\, natural yodelling courses have been growing in popularity in the cities.\n\nDate: Saturday\, 27 June 2026\, 1.30–4.00 pm 10.00 am to 12.30 pm \nMeeting point: \nSaturday\, 27 June 2026\, 1.30 pm 10.00 am in front of St Peter’s Church\, Basel\, Peterskirchplatz 7. \nAnd to view our drawings at 4.00 pm 12.30 pm\, also in front of St Peter’s Church. \nGoogle Maps: Peterskirche\, Peterskirchplatz 7\, Basel

SUMMARY:USk Geneva - June 2026 sketchwalk - Maison-Royale
DESCRIPTION:This month we’ll meet at the Maison-Royale. \nMeeting point: In front of Maison-Royale at Quai Gustave-Ador\, 46 \nClassified as a historical monument by the Canton of Geneva in 2001\, the Maison Royale is undoubtedly the most impressive building on the harbor\, yet it has never housed a crowned head! Built between 1907 and 1909 by architects Henri Garcin and Charles Bizot\, it sparked the anger of Genevans\, who dubbed it ‘the jewel of macaque taste’ during the 1909 facade competition\, all due to the particular architectural tastes of the epoch. \nDon’t forget your sunscreen and hat! ☀️ \nAs always\, please bring your sketching material: \n• Sketchbook/Paper pad\,\n• Pencils\, rubber\, pens\,\n• Watercolors\, brushes\,\n• Folding stool\, field easel\n• etc…

SUMMARY:Sketching at  Botanischer Garten Grüningen (ZH)
DESCRIPTION:After several meetups in the city\, it is time for another small trip outside Zurich. Our destination is the Botanical Garden Grüningen\, set on a hill above the historic little town and shaped like an arboretum. The award-winning greenhouse\, trees and shrubs from around the world\, and the varied outdoor spaces offer plenty of sketching subjects somewhere between plant study and architecture. Even in less-than-perfect weather\, the visit is well worth it: there are several sheltered places to draw and take cover\, not only inside the greenhouse itself. We are very pleased to be welcomed to the garden and would like to warmly thank our hosts for the invitation. \nMeeting point\nAt the entrance to the Botanical Garden Grüningen. \nGetting there\nBy public transport\, you can reach the garden from Zurich\, Winterthur or Rapperswil via S-Bahn to Wetzikon ZH\, then bus 867 to Grüningen\, Im Haufland. From Uster\, take bus 845 to Grüningen\, Im Haufland. From the bus stop\, it is about a 20-minute walk to the garden. \nIf you are coming by car\, free parking is available. \nMore information can be found here: https://www.botanischer-garten.ch/den-garten-besuchen/ \nEntrance\nThe entrance is free of charge. \nPlease bring your own drawing materials and\, ideally\, a small folding stool. No prior experience required. We sketch for about 2 hours\, solo or in small groups\, at an easy pace. Afterwards we regroup\, share our sketches and take a group photo.

SUMMARY:Urban Sketchers Treffen in Biel/Bienne
DESCRIPTION:Diesen Sonntag zeichnen wir an dem Ort\, an welchem vor 5 Jahren alles begonnen hat: Treffpunkt ist um 14Uhr beim Ring in der Altstadt Biel. \nBereits 5 Jahre erkunden wir gemeinsam – Zeichnung für Zeichnung – die Stadt Biel. Wir fachsimpeln\, lachen\, probieren neue Dinge aus\, regen uns wegen misslungenen Experimenten auf\, zeichnen und connecten. Und genau so soll es auch weitergehen! \nZeichnungsort: Die Altstadt Biel bietet sehr viele Motive: Die alten Gebäude\, das Stadttheater\, diverse Brunnen oder die Stadtkirche. Aber auch das ganz alltägliche Leben der Menschen kann auf Papier festgehalten werden. Sollte es regnen\, bieten die Laubengänge und die Restaurants Schutz; sollte die Sonne scheinen\, spenden die grossen Bäume Schatten. \nIn Laufnähe befindet sich unter anderem die Innenstadt und die Schüss-Promenade.

SUMMARY:Sketching the Grossmünster cloister
DESCRIPTION:The summer temperatures are here to stay\, making it the perfect time to seek out one of the shadiest spots in Zurich’s Old Town. Our destination is the cloister of the Grossmünster. Although thousands of people pass the Grossmünster every day\, many have never discovered this peaceful retreat. With its Romanesque arches\, elegant columns\, the interplay of light and shadow\, and views into the small garden\, it offers a unique atmosphere and plenty of inspiring sketching subjects. \nMeeting point: On the square in front of the main entrance to the Grossmünster\, by the large lime tree. \nPlease bring your own drawing materials and\, ideally\, a small folding stool. No prior experience required. We sketch for about 2 hours\, solo or in small groups\, at an easy pace. Afterwards we regroup\, share our sketches and take a group photo.
