Networking update

• An outside audience - Color Club. Pre-pandemic I held a monthly color club at my studio. my friends are similar age, some younger. Some work in creative or creative adjacent fields (UX design, interior design, fashion accessory design, museum management, project manager) and some who work in unrelated fields (nursing, wellness coach, dental hygienist, elementary school teacher). All of who do not consider themselves "creative" but thoroughly enjoy doing "creative" activities. I will run a live beta testing group teaching the art kit to my Color Club.
