Hand Drawn Maps

For our July maptime, Carolyn Fish will lead an exercise and discussion on hand-drawn maps. No expertise is needed! We will first look at some beautiful hand drawn maps then delve into drawing out our own mental maps!

We will have pizza, courtesy of CartoDB. We hope you can join us!

As always, beginners very welcome. Please bring a pencil. No need for a laptop this time!

When you enter the building, check in with security - let them know you're attending Maptime on the 4th floor.

Maptime is, rather literally, time for mapmaking. Our mission is to open the doors of cartographic possibility to anyone interested by creating a time and space for collaborative learning, exploration, and map creation using mapping tools and technologies.

This open learning environment for all levels and degrees of knowledge offers intentional support for the beginner. Maptime is simultaneously flexible and structured, creating space for workshops, ongoing projects with a shared goal, and independent/collaborative work time.

Inspiration for Maptime comes from both hack nights and knitting circles. Both are models of spaces for people to create and learn together. Our goal is to provide this space with an open heart and without pretension. You can bring your own projects to work on, or just hang out and socialize or ask questions. Some people are experts, and some people are just getting started, but all of us are learning, so why not do it together?

Maptime is hands-on, so don't forget to bring your pencil!
