Every Thursday join instructors Nadia Hitchcock and Nanette Cloud for a relaxed and creative evening of figure drawing. You will get the opportunity to explore the art of figure drawing in a supportive setting. This class is more like a friendly meetup where people of all levels can practice observing the human form, share tips, and enjoy the process of drawing together.

Whether you are a beginner or a practiced artist, these drop-in style classes will help you improve your technique and build confidence in capturing the human form. Come to one or come to all since every week offers a fresh experience and new inspiration. 

We will provide 8.5x11 paper along with pencils, markers, charcoal, and pastels to share. If you have favorite tools or sketchbooks, feel free to bring them along.

Whether you are brand new to drawing or a seasoned artist, you will find encouragement, practice, and plenty of fun in this welcoming community.

 All are welcome!  Minors must be accompanied by a trusted adult.

About the Instructors
Nadia Hitchcock is a graphic design gremlin turned illustrator extraordinaire who brings storytelling, research, and a splash of cheeky color to everything she creates. A former Idahoan goat herder turned design professional, Nadia combines her background in digital and print design with a passion for local history, occult curiosities, and all things nerdy. Whether working in watercolor, digital illustration, motion graphics, or collaborative zines, her creative process always begins with deep research. She believes that powerful design hinges on using a subject’s history and context to create lasting, impactful work. Nadia’s playful, community-focused approach makes her an engaging art instructor with a knack for bringing people together through art. She is also a USDA certified research nerd.

Nanette Cloud is a nonbinary-transfeminine cartoonist and zinester based in Spokane, WA, whose work combines creativity, community, and a deep love for visual storytelling. A regular art educator throughout the Spokane area, Nanette’s work has been featured in Terrain 12 and 13, and in 2022, she was nominated for a Spokane Arts Imagination Award. She is a prolific self-publisher of zines and minicomics, producing at least one new title every year since 2017. When she worked at Spark Central she published a weekly zine called YOUCANDRAW that featured the work of people who went to her Drop in and Draw program. Nanette brings a fun, inclusive, and welcoming approach to teaching, rooted in her experience as an artist and her background in digital communication from The Evergreen State College.
