Kink and Draw – Furry Edition – Wed. Nov. 11 – 6-8pm

Kink & Draw brings together life drawing and queer subcultures.

In each session, we’ll learn about a kink or culture from a special guest and embark on a drawing session inspired by the topic.

On November 11, capture figure, form and fur as we learn about the colorful world of furries. We’re pleased to welcome Captain Karlisle as our special guest model. Get your paws a little dirty as we create fursuit gesture drawings with both quick and long poses.

You’re encouraged to bring your own drawing supplies, but basic drawing materials will be available.

- - 18+ only
  - Wednesday, November 11, 2026 @ 6-8 pm (2 hours)
  - Registration is $5

Kink & Draw – Furry Edition: Register here.
