SAW Field trips are a great way to get to know people and get out of the studio for a bit, especially if you’ve been working on any kind of longer project. On December 7, we are spending the afternoon at The Lynx Books to have coffee, sketch outside, and check out their selection.

Join local cartoonist, Mort Robertson, for a guided session on clothed figure drawing for comics, focusing on composition, figure placement, value judgments, and more.

We're having a SAW Field Trip to the Repurpose Project! This is an informal meeting for SAW folks to get together and upcycle materials to design a one-of-a-kind gift or activity for a loved one this holiday season.

This event is free. Please RSVP.
