Two days of CLAW events are coming up at this final weekend of April!
Pierce County Reads
We’ll be teaching a comics workshop at the Parkland/Spanaway Library for Pierce County Reads next Saturday the 28th from 6-8 PM.
For anyone who wants to dip their toes into making their own comics, zines, or graphic novels, this will be a primer on basic art practice and visual storytelling. Check out the event page and RSVP here!
A large portion will be devoted to open drawing time, so we encourage attendees to bring their latest inspiration, ideas, and projects. There will be a Q&A, plus a show & tell showcasing some great examples of independently produced comics and zines. We hope to see you there!
Tacoma Wayzgoose 2018
And of course, the time has come again for Tacoma Wayzgoose at King’s Books.
No steamroll printing for us this year, but our booth inside King’s Books will have CLAW and member merchandise, plus a new free activity this year. Bring any light-colored blank bags, shirts, handkerchiefs of any cloth (no nylon!) for a free linoleum stamp for fabrics!
No blank things to bring? Tinkertopia has you covered with a cool batch of fabric swatches to choose from. Check out our Instagram to see one of the two stamp designs we’ll be using (new one coming soon!).

For some time we’ve wanted to host a casual community hobnob, separate from our long-running Open Swims, for people to relax, unwind, sketch or chip at their own projects.
Now it’s a reality!
CLAW welcomes you to join us at Drink and CLAW every third Wednesday of the month at Dunagan Brewing, 1126 Commerce St, from 7-9 PM. It will be updated monthly as an event via our Facebook page. The venue welcomes children and those under 21, but be prepared to present ID if ordering beer.
Dunagan has a small food menu in addition to non-alcoholic beverages, though customers may bring takeout or order delivery.
Drawing is encouraged but not required: bring whatever creative endeavor you would like to work on!
Cheers!

The C.L.A.W. is a clandestine network of professional Northwest cartoonists founded and ultimately concentrated in the south Puget Sound region. Our mission is to gather talented Washington State cartoonists of great skill and humongous egos in frequently secluded gatherings during which the secrets and mystic arts of their sublime craft are practiced. Behind closed doors and away from prying eyes, the most pointless and silly of rituals will be freely indulged. And we give a scholarship to an art student every year!
