We pick a new venue to draw in each weekend. This ensures that you draw something entirely new each time. Our Jammers often bring family members along, so we try to pick spaces that are safe, where children can run around and where there are restrooms and eateries nearby. We tend to repeat venues that our members enjoy.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-details is-style-arrow-icon-details has-medium-font-size is-layout-flow wp-block-details-is-layout-flow\" style=\"border-top-style:none;border-top-width:0px;border-right-style:none;border-right-width:0px;border-bottom-color:var(--wp--preset--color--base);border-bottom-style:solid;border-bottom-width:1px;border-left-style:none;border-left-width:0px;margin-top:0\"><summary>How do I join a Weekend Jam?<\/summary>\n<p class=\"has-contrast-1-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-13f2824c4129ab7374ef7b3030289110\">All you need to do is find out where we are drawing and turn up with your sketchbook. As simple as that! We post event details on this website, and also on our Discord server and on Instagram. Simply go through the event details and turn up for the jam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is highly recommended that you join our <a href=\"http:\/\/penciljam.com\/main\/community\/\" data-type=\"page\" data-id=\"1280\">community platform<\/a> on Discord. Sometimes the space we are drawing in is large, such as a park, and Discord makes it easy to find each other.

Many members of our community don&#8217;t have a formal background in Art, and those who do &#8211; share their knowledge.
