Neurodiverse Creative Network (for female and non-binary creatives)

We are very excited to be hosting the new FANN Network!

This is their first free, in-person event, for northern female and non-binary artists and creatives of all kinds who identify as neurodivergent.

This will be a collaborative, accessible event in a creative space. No pressure, no judgement, just a chance to meet one another, share some common struggles, discuss how to access and create support, and celebrate the individuality and imagination of neurodivergent creative people!

FANN is created by Redbobble arts in collaboration with Left Bank.

Bird Drawing and Construction with Michael Rios

Join Michael in this wonderful 3 hour workshop. You will be guided in how to draw a bird using basic shapes and address superficial anatomical structure. Bird talons, wings, and head will be discussed.

These skills are also fundamental in the process of creature design, game art, and character design. In the session you will primarily be using pencil and pen, yet if you would like to bring a digital tablet to work on, your more than welcome to do so!

Please note that tablets will not be provided to use in this session.

Zineophilia: The Zine Social Club

Join us for an evening of pressure free creativity centered around zines. Zines are small press booklets and have been around since the 1930s as a method of people to communicate their passions, discuss their lives, and find a voice.

We’ll teach you how to make zines, and give you all the materials you need to fill them. Casual self expression in an encouraging environment.
