Meet new friends groups near Braintree, MA

This group aims to explore the historic use, foraging, and processing of natural pigments around greater "New England". We hope to foster more land-based relationships with visual artists through the exploration of local materials for art making. This group is for everyone interested in foraging, processing, and using pigments from earth, minerals, and native plants. We welcome folks working with natural dyes and clays in ceramics, although this group will mainly focus on Pigments used in drawing materials, inks, and paint. Whether you're a seasoned artist, craftsperson, historian or just curious about natural pigments, come learn and create with us.

Are you new to Boston? Have you been here for a while but are looking for new friends? Are you looking for fun activities and new adventures? If you answered yes to any of these questions, you're in the right place. One week we may be doing a photo walk or attending a candlelight concert, while the next we may have a picnic or go to a beer garden/restaurant. Anything is possible and suggestions from members are welcome. While we may have some events in beer gardens or breweries, this is not a drinking/partying group. This group is primarily meant for people in their 20s, 30s and early 40s. I see a lot of people interested in outdoors activities. If you are interested, check out my other group: [Boston Outside (Boston, MA) | Meetup](https://www.meetup.com/boston-outside/)

Join our Facebook Group - [https://www.facebook.com/groups/makefriendsaftercollege/](https://www.facebook.com/groups/letsdofunthingsandhangout/) Discord Page - https://discord.gg/QE4WuwZuez Join our Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/mfac_boston/ As we all know, it can be pretty hard to actually meet and make new friends after leaving college and entering into the real world. While in other Meetup groups it's easy to meet fellow fun, young people, it can sometimes be hard to translate those one-time experiences into more long term social connections that exist outside of the Meetup environment. With that in mind, this group was started with the goal of meeting, connecting with, and actually be-friending, new people. Welcome!
