Sip & Draw: Pastel Pals

Join us for a fun night of drawing with our friends...soft pastels and booze. Soft pastels are a buttery delight to work with. Never worked with soft pastels before, no problem. Artist Kico Le Strange will be your soft pastel guru guide. Already a pro, that's fantastic, come chill and draw with us. We will supply all the art materials: paper, soft pastels, blending stumps, pencils, erasers, and fixative. All concepts are welcome, from abstract to realism to just playing with the medium. Bring a homie, the more the merrier.

Your ticket includes all materials and refreshments, so just bring your creativity! This guided art-making experience offers plenty of flexibility, allowing you to explore and create at your own pace.

Taught by Kico Le Strange. Kico is an Oakland-based visual artist with a multidisciplinary practice that consists of performance, garment construction, illustration, soft sculpture, and installation.

Saturdays at the Lab is a unique series of weekend art workshops connecting professional artists with our local community. Every Second Saturday we host a Sip & Make workshop to craft, create, and connect—because art, community, and a touch of wine make the perfect blend.
