Kick off STL Design Week and combat the Monday scaries over muffins and hot bevs with illustrator and designer, Caitlin Metz.

We’ll gather at Nebula and toast to the power of pencil and paper. Caitlin will be sharing peeks into their sketchbooks and offering up their best tips and tricks for building a regular drawing/documentation practice as a form of self regulation, reflection, and care. In their new book, Feel Something Make Something a Guide to Collaborating With Your Emotions Caitlin shares how mark-making has been both their war cry and salve.

Come for the Design Week Sketchbooks (available only at this event!) and brekkie, stay for the vibes and community drawing prompts for screaming into the voice or waxing poetic into your brand new sketchbook.

Fill your sketchbook throughout the week, and then display it at the closing show. Let’s dive into this deeply human sequence, old as time herself: feel something and make something (rinse and repeat). We can’t wait to see what you record from the banger line up we have this week!
