“Drawing Together” Dec. 7 at Mudd Library

Join us for the FINAL “Drawing Together” of the semester on Thursday, Dec. 7, starting at 7 p.m. in the Mudd Library Living Room. This end-of-semester “Drawing Together” is all about decompressing with comics: We’ll have SNACKS, DRAWING SUPPLIES, COLORING BOOK pages, and BOOKS from the Albion College Graphic Medicine Collection. For those interested, we’ll also be making a short, hand-folded ZINE! This is an opportunity to get together, make marks on paper, and have a good time — no art experience required!

Thank you to everyone who has joined us for any of the “Drawing Together” workshops this semester — we have loved building this community and hope to see you on Dec. 7! We also hope you’ll continue to enjoy the books in the Graphic Medicine Collection year-round!
