Sketch / Book is a social salon and creative meetup centered on reading and/or drawing, hosted by LMN Wedge Studio and Quimby’s Bookstore. Guests begin the session at Quimby’s to select a free zine. After browsing, and getting aquinted we'll head over to the Flatiron Arts Building to read or sketch within the eclectic comfort of LMN Wedge Studio and Gallery. This is an opportunity to read a zine book or comic in a social setting, practice sketching people from observation, or simply journal and mark-make in your sketchbook within a social, supportive setting.

A time for round-robin sharing and networking is built into the schedule.
