Everyone will get to draw multiple charms and add jump rings. attach them onto one large bracelet. People can also draw charms to take home.

About Disability Drawing Club:
A hangout for people with disabilities, chronic illness, and mental illness!
The Disability Drawing Club holds space for people with disabilities, chronic illness, and mental illness. In this casual meetup, we bond, vent, and commiserate about our shared experiences. Simultaneously, it allows us to be unapologetic about our bodies, and broadens representation of disabled people in drawing.
This safe space welcomes people who identify as disabled, chronically ill, mentally ill, and their caretakers. The club is centered around drawing prompts that open up discussions about our health and wellness.
No drawing experience necessary!
