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.

Boston transplants and new friends

Boston, MA

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/)

We encourage security professionals, business people, and I.T. folks to attend.

Business professionals, bring your questions. Feel free to be specific and to ask for details. You know your business. Let's explore your security questions (the ones one you can share) and help everyone improve their risk management.

Security Professionals, come with answers, and be prepared to be challenged on specifics. We mean to provide real, actionable information for small business owners.
