Artist Trading Cards is back for a second year! Ever wanted to make your own trading card? Create your own personalized piece, have it tucked in a crisp laminated sleeve by me, and then trade with your friends and table neighbors! Or, put it in the mystery pile and test your luck~ Markers, cardstock, laminated sleeves, and googly eyes (naturally) will be provided. However, I encourage you to also bring your own art supplies as well!
Swap sketchbooks with other artists of all ages, chill, and hang out! Make sure to bring your own sketchbooks and supplies! (A limited amount of extra pencils and paper pads will also available)
