A chance to give something back

Sketchbook-making kits in clear bags on a cutting mat, with colorful covers, binding thread, “Made at FADE” stickers, and “Make a Little Sketchbook” instruction zines.

A drawing meetup introduced me to FADE and a chance to do something I’ve wanted to do for years: help others explore their creative possibilities. As I prepare to teach a sketchbook-making class, I’m thinking about the guidance I needed when I was young and what I can offer now.
