Columbus Mastering the Art of Ink Wash

We are gathering for our next session of Columbus Mastering the Art of Ink Wash, and I would love for you to join us. This event is an opportunity for those interested in the traditions of East Asian brush painting to focus on the nuances of water-to-ink ratios and the specific brush techniques that bring these landscapes and botanicals to life. Whether you have been practicing for years or are just beginning to explore the medium, we will be spending the time working through exercises together and sharing feedback in a relaxed, supportive setting. This session is designed for anyone who appreciates the meditative nature of ink work and wants to improve their control and flow. We will have space set up for everyone to work, so please bring your own brushes and favorite ink supplies if you have them, though we will have some basic materials on hand for those who might need them. It is a great chance to step away from the daily routine and focus on a craft that rewards patience and intention. If you are planning to come by, please take a moment to RSVP so I can make sure we have enough table space for everyone. I look forward to seeing familiar faces and meeting some new ones as we continue to explore the craft together.

Casual Hobby Night at The Arcane Foundry: Drinks & More

Come hang out at **The Arcane Foundry** for a casual evening of miniature painting, terrain building, drinks, and conversation. I’m working on putting together a gaming room and have plenty of unpainted miniatures and terrain that could use some attention, so bring your own project or **help me work through mine**. This is **NOT** a class or structured event. It’s really just an excuse to get some creative people together, paint some minis, have a few drinks, put on some music, and shoot the shit. Beginners are completely welcome. I’m also into **woodworking**, **plant propagation**, **gardening**, **axe and knife throwing**, and other maker hobbies, so there will probably be plenty of other projects and future hangouts if people click. I have an axe/knife throwing area, a blacksmithing forge and a woodworking station outside for future events. **Bring a drink if you'd like, bring a project if you have one, and come hang out. No real agenda, just paint, create, and meet some people.** Yes, The Arcane Foundry is my hobby-based business, but no, I will not be working and you do not need to buy anything. The only thing I ask is that you clean up after yourself. This is strictly a casual hangout and I'm just opening up the space so we can paint, work on projects, have some drinks, and enjoy each other's company. This is BYOB. So, bring whatever you want (soda, beer, wine, kava, whataver). I will have my own stash here. [https://thearcanefoundry.com/](https://thearcanefoundry.com/)

Taco Tuesday

Tea Crawl through the Short North

I listed below three of the stops we will make. We'll start by meeting at One Line Coffee. After these three, whoever still wants to walk around can make additional suggestions! Other options we can consider are Maison Skalli (662 North High St), Tertulia (997 North High Street), and any others I might not know about. North Market of course has a Stauf's. I'm not much into bubble tea, but we can also stop at one of those if everyone else wants to! For parking, make sure you have the app Park Cbus or there are many parking garages. 1\. One Line Coffee\-Short North 745 North High Street Recommended: Excellent Matcha (though I'm sure their Chai is good too) 2\. Pizza Pelino 772 North High Street Recommended: Amaretti (gluten free) cookies 3\. Roaming Goat Coffee 849 North High Street Recommended: The hibiscus cold tea is particularly good if they still have it
