Columbus Sketch and Sip Creative Social

Sun, Nov 1, 12:00 AM
From Dedicated Sketching Practice And Social Hub

We are hosting a casual afternoon of sketching and conversation at a local spot here in Columbus. This is a low-pressure way to dedicate a few hours to your sketchbook while meeting fellow artists in the area. Whether you are working on a specific project, practicing fundamentals, or just looking to get out of the house and draw alongside others, you are more than welcome to join us. There is no formal instruction or critique, just a shared space to create and connect over a drink. We keep things informal and relaxed, making it a great environment for anyone looking to build a consistent habit or simply enjoy the company of other creatives. Bring whatever supplies you like to work with and come ready to hang out. We would love to get a sense of who can make it so we can grab enough space for everyone. If you have been meaning to get some sketching time in, please take a moment to RSVP and we will see you there.
