Are you interested in science, art, drawing, tea, or good company?
If so, our new scientific illustration club is for you! No art experience necessary. Join our casual monthly meetups to drink tea and engage in whatever illustration project you are currently working on, stuck on, or avoiding. No project in the pipeline? No problem! A scientific specimen and basic drawing supplies will be provided at each meeting.
Feel free to bring your lunch and any art supplies necessary for your personal project.
