Sip n Paint: Sunset Serenity
Sip n Paint: Sunset Serenity
When the sky glows, the sea reflects the colors, and everything seems to stand still for a moment – ​​we'll capture this special atmosphere together in this Acrylic Marker Workshop. In 2.5 hours, you'll create your own atmospheric artwork in A4 format and immerse yourself in a world of vibrant colors and smooth transitions. You'll begin by getting to know the acrylic markers: their properties, their opacity, and how to use them effectively. They combine the intensity of acrylic paint with the control of a pen – perfect for creating both broad color gradients and fine details. In the workshop, I'll show you various techniques to help you create a beautiful evening sky: soft color gradients from warm orange to deep violet, the interplay of light and reflection in the water, and the use of contrasts for added depth. Step by step, your very own seascape will take shape. You can use a template as a guide or follow your own vision. Perhaps your sea will be serene and minimalist – perhaps dramatic and intensely colorful. Anything is possible. That's precisely what makes each picture unique. At the end of the workshop, you'll take your finished A4 artwork home with you. A picture that not only looks beautiful but is also a memento of a creative, relaxed evening. And above all: a piece you can be proud of. Besides the painting itself, the atmosphere is paramount. Laughter, experimentation, and trying new things are all encouraged. Small "mistakes" are part of the process – and often become the most interesting details in the picture 😉 You'll enjoy a creative break from everyday life and can simply switch off. This workshop is like a mini-vacation by the sea – only with a pen instead of a sun hat! Come along, enjoy the creative flow, and let your own sunset emerge.

Kes (1969)
Kes (1969)
**Directed by [Ken Loach](https://www.festival-cannes.com/en/p/ken-loach/).** Named by the British Film Institute as one of the ten best British films of the century. **Please RSVP on Meetup if you plan to attend! Buy your ticket in advance at the link below. We'll meet at the entrance to the movie theater at 18:00. The screening begins at 18:30.** *Ken Loach’s Kes, is cinema’s quintessential portrait of working-class Northern England. Billy (an astonishingly naturalistic David Bradley) is a fifteen-year-old miner’s son whose close bond with a wild kestrel provides him with a spiritual escape from his dead-end life. Kes brought to the big screen the sociopolitical engagement Loach had established in his work for the BBC, and pushed the British “angry young man” film of the sixties into a new realm of authenticity, using real locations and nonprofessional actors. Loach’s poignant coming-of-age drama remains the now legendary director’s most beloved and influential film.* *Source: [The Criterion Collection](https://www.criterion.com/films/27560-kes)* **Please [buy your ticket online in advance](https://filmpodium.ch/film/172549/kes) to secure your spot. Seats cannot be reserved online, so we will coordinate seating arrangements at the theater before the screening. It's important to arrive early to pick up your tickets, so please be at Xenix by 18:15 at the latest. After the movie, we'll gather in the lobby for a beverage and discussion of the film.**

Greetings writers! Come down and join your fellow wordsmiths for one hour of uninterrupted writing time in the upper level of the Market District Supermarket in Upper Arlington. The main entrance of the shopping center opens onto stairs/elevator leading up to the 2nd floor cafe section where we will have a table displaying a sign with the Shut Up & Write logo.

We’ll meet on Wednesday evenings, starting the clock at 6:30, following a brief period of introductions. This is solid writing time and all inclusive. Any project is acceptable, be it fiction, non -fiction, work or homework assignment. All is welcome and will remain private to you.

The cafe may be noisy on occasion so headphones/ earbuds are reccommended as you see fit. Please try to RSVP if possible so that we may grab enough seats for all—the venue can be busy at times. Feel free to message me privately wth any questions and/ or concerns you may have. Happy writing!
Speak Easy (Storytelling)
Speak Easy (Storytelling)
The topic for June is "Roadtrip" Speak Easy: true stories, told live. The idea is simple: an audience, an open microphone, and great stories. Hilarious, gripping, poignant- it's up to you. Audiences are invited to come to listen or come to tell as folks from all corners of Columbus offer their stories live on stage! Held at Wild Goose Creative's warm, intimate space, this night of tales occurs on the 3rd Thursday of every month. Doors open at 6:30 pm, show starts at 7:00 pm. Please arrive early if you want to tell, as we generally only have room for a limited number of tellers, and the sign-up sheet has a tendency to fill up fast. Formed around the idea that people need stories--they're what hold and draw us together--SpeakEasy celebrates the strangeness and commonness of being human. And in a world of smartphones, Facebook, Twitter, and more . . . it gives people a real, breathing, in-person way to connect. The night is geared for true stories of all kinds, taking the best tales told around kitchen tables, in darkened pubs, on the street corner, and at late-night parties and giving them an audience. Speak Easy is also a great outlet for performers, writers, and artists looking to share their favorite stories and perfect their skills. We strongly encourage tellers to please tell the story rather than read it so we keep within the spirit of good storytelling and stay engaged with the audience. All are welcome. Hang around after the show for a drink and build community!
