ATTENTION WRITERS: No Meetups will be scheduled this summer. We will resume in the fall.   Each month we read and discuss a book devoted to the craft of writing.  "Do I have to read the book?"   Although technically not required, it is preferred. Although the discussion can move off onto tangents, the focus will be primarily on the contents of the book.  However,  if you do not have time to read the entire book, reading SOME of it is perfectly acceptable. Even digesting a few o …

This is an experimental meetup which provides you with painting technique demos, art history slideshows, and a space to paint and practice your craft (or start learning it from scratch). Having just finished teaching an Informal Class at UT on "Explorations in Color & Texture" some students asked me to continue the course to allow them the time and space to put into practice the techniques they had learned. So, I found a space where people can bring their ideas and questions to continue explorin …

There is a lot of information about leather work that is difficult to learn from books and online tutorials. It would be great if leatherworkers can MEET UP to discuss sources for tools, leather, findings; to share techniques and show the fruits of our labors.

Like good actors, writers that draw on their emotional experiences often create the most compelling works. This creative non-fiction group is meant for people who have written fiction in the past and want to try their hand at personal essays or others ways of putting more of themselves into their writing, or writers like me who have focused on traditional non-fiction topics such as How To articles and want to add more color to their pieces. The focus will be on the craft of creative non-fiction …

We are people who meet to be creative in nature. Our events are outings. We walk to places in nature where we break to be creative. We do not talk during our breaks, but we talk again afterwards to share our creations. We are an artsy group, not a hiking group. All who seek to create from nature are welcome, whatever your art, whether you write, draw, paint, sculpt, craft, photograph, dance, philosophize, or meditate for inspiration. Participants are expected to share from time to time, whether …
