Meet up and work.
Agenda:
-We all talk about what we are making ( drawing, music, poetry, business, anything)
-Shameless self promotion where relevant

Then we work for and hour or so and check in about what we made.

We are looking for true-life tales of family lore - the stories that are told again and again... the eccentric aunties or famous (infamous?) cousins... the mysterious great great grandmother who may have been a witch... Then there are the stories that happened to people you know in your neighbourhood... the hard to believe stories that seem almost like myths. We want to hear them all! 
Free to attend // participation welcomed // all ages

And as usual we will have our open mic session, all welcome to bring along a piece of prose or poetry to share. See you there!
