Juneau – For young dog lovers only! Local artist Nobu Koch will lead two free workshops for kids to explore drawing techniques and learn about some notable dogs in Alaska’s history on Saturday, February 3, in the classroom at the Fr. Andrew P. Kashevaroff building at 395 Whittier Street. Participants can bring photos of their own dogs or draw from a selection of dog photos from the Library’s Historical Collections.
