Senior Sketches is an 8-week small-group drawing workshop designed for adults 55 and older who want to explore the basics of drawing in a supportive, beginner-friendly environment. Participants learn fundamental skills for drawing from observation while building confidence through hands-on practice. Each session encourages artistic discussion, collaboration, and shared reflection to deepen understanding and enjoyment. Taught by artist and educator, Joshua Newth, the workshop fosters a warm creative community where connection is just as important as sketching.

No experience is required in any game system to play, and pre-made characters will be provided. If you want to bring your own character, however, you’re more than welcome to! Reach out for any specific requirements before the adventure begins.

It's Fae Month here at Library Legends, and we're dealing with fae problems in another Dungeon Crawl Classics adventure! While on a completely unrelated quest to gather a healing flower, your team of rookie adventurers stumbled upon the ghost of Al-Razi, a famous knight whose ghost has been bound to this place by a Faerie Queen against his will. He begs you to free him from his servitude, and you take up the quest. But will this adventure prove you're as bold an adventurer as Al-Razi was, or will you too soon end up ghosts?
(Dungeon Crawl Classics uses some non-standard dice they call "funky dice" such as d3s, d7s, and d14s. These will be provided if you need them.)

Registration is required. Enrolling in one session will automatically enroll you in all following sessions. (Ages 18+)
