Somerville Skillshare

Last weekend I taught a short workshop on imaginary mapmaking at Somerville Skillshare, a day of free workshops held at the Armory. I was blown away by the response—people were lining up for it when I got there, and even though we admitted over twice the number of people I had originally planned for we still had to turn people away because we were out of seats!

Here’s what it looked like while people were drawing:

I had some prepared paper, some printouts with imaginative maps that inspire me, and some of the drawing materials I regularly use, and it was fascinating to see people turn them into maps. Here’s some of the art that came out of the 50-minute workshop:
