[Resuming again in November 2012. Thanks for your patience!] We are people who meet to be creative in nature. Our events are outings. We walk to places in nature where we break to be creative. We do not talk during our breaks, but we talk again afterwards to share our creations. We are an artsy group, not a hiking group. All who seek to create from nature are welcome, whatever your art, whether you write, draw, paint, sculpt, craft, photograph, dance, philosophize, or meditate for inspiration. P …

What is lifedrawing? It is the artistic study of the nude human figure from observation of a live model.   In my opinion, it is the best way to learn how to draw.

Wednesday afternoon studio also requires an RSVP. The Sunday afternoon, Monday evening and Thursday evening  studios are first come/first served …

The Art of Being a woman is a gift we all carry. This Group is about empowering women to own the gifts of femininity and be powerful, confident, radiant, and magnetic. This group is about shifting what it means to be a powerful feminine woman. A woman’s personal presence and magnetism grow when she connects with her feminine essence. In pursuit of equality and power however, many women have taken on a more masculine role. In their desire to be strong and independent, many women have shut themsel …

This group was started because many artists in Austin are less interested in chatting about their art (though it's loads of fun and will be part of all future meetups) and more interested in creating and selling it. The purpose of the group is to develop new venues to display and sell visual art. The people who will join this group are primarily working artists who may not make a living or work full-time at it, but have ambitions to do so or at least keep art as a major part of their lives.

The Texas Atlatl Association (TAA) formed on July 17th, 2010 at the Duval Ranch in Falcon Heights, Texas near Falcon State Park. What began as correspondence between the Austin Texas Lithic Arts & Technology League (ATLATL) and South Texas Atlatl back in 2008, eventually culminated into an organization that will reintroduce the art of the atlatl in the state. One of our main goals as TAA is to provide venues for people to exchange ideas about the atlatl and other primitive skills, experimental a …

Classes will be limited to 6-8 people, and we will probably meet at my home. For the $60 fee, I will explain in detail how to read stones, will give attendees a short reading to demonstrate how it works, and will provide a copy of my …

This is a group for people who like watching mixed martial arts events. I've been a big fan of MMA for many years, and I find that it's a lot more fun to watch the fights with a group of people who are equally vested (to some degree) in the outcome. Planning to choose locations in Downtown Austin.

I provide mobile arts and crafts classes in cafes, wine bars, restaurants and homes in central Austin. I also strive to use re-use, re-cycle, and re-purpose the majority of supplies used. Join a class to make a satisfying piece of art while getting to know other Austinites and supporting local business! Feel free to contact me if there is a specific activity you want to learn, as I can tailor a group or private class for you.

This group is for artists working in painting - oil and acrylic (watercolor welcome). We will meet to share ideas, constructively critique one another's works, and to paint! We'll scout locations to organize plein air sessions, cityscape and landscape, and organize studio sessions for still life.

we are focused on clarity of purpose of how to make and present pictures that speak to our audience.
