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 …

Hello. This is a social group for writers and artists (and creative people in general) who simply want to get together and share food, ideas and good conversation. This is not a work-focused group, although you're welcome to talk about whatever is on your mind. We'll have monthly potlucks at members' houses and other locations. You don't need to be a foodie or gourmet cook to join. All you need to be is a writer/artist/creative type with a desire to hang out with similar people, and an appetite.

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 …

Many people love the idea of learning to paint – but don’t know how to pursue it or don’t have the time to find a good instructor. I will take the hassle out of “learning” and make it easy for you to pursue something you’ve “always wanted to do”. Usually my students leave saying something like "wow, I can't believe I did this!!" - So you take something that is lasting (you can take it home and hang it on your wall), is extremely positive, and in some cases even life-altering (I've had some GREAT …

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 …
