New Jersey Sketchers at the Museum of Early Trades and Crafts
Join us for a day of sketching at the Museum of Early Trades and Crafts. The museum is in the James Library Building. Built in 1899, this is a fine example of Richardsonian Romanesque Revival architecture.
You can choose from sketching the many exhibits of early equipment used in homes, factories and farms or try your hand at capturing the wonderful Victorian architectures, tile work and stained glass window. No matter what you choose, you will enjoy being in this confection of a building.
