Meet new friends groups near Swampscott, 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/)

Make New Friends in Tech Boston, including founders, VCs, and operators at big tech and high growth startups. We're dedicated to bringing people together in real life to foster meaningful connections and knowledge exchange.

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!

NESFA is one of the oldest SF clubs in the nation. The convention that NESFA runs, Boskone, is also one of the oldest in the country. The NESFA clubhouse is located at 504 Medford Street in Somerville. NESFA hosts a variety of events at the clubhouse in the course of a month. All events at the clubhouse are free to anyone. You don't have to be a member and you do not have to join. All you have to do is open the door and walk in. Game Days, Game Nights, Media Days, Book Discussion Group, the Annual Picnic, the Halloween party, the Bah Humbug game day, and the general Wednesday night gathering are all free to attend. Details for each will be posted in each event listing. Boskone runs in February, and it's one of the longest running SF conventions out there. Many famous authors attend each year, along with editors and publishers. There are discussion panels, nightly events, an art show, filkers, a dealer's room, and I personally run the game room. NESFA is also the parent organization of NEGC (New England Gaming Convention). Two have run thus far. Both were 1-day gaming cons. NESFA Press is the publishing wing of NESFA. NESFAns handle all aspects of the work, from the negotiations to the editing. You'll see NESFA set up at the Boston Book Festival as well. info@nesfa.org is the general email address for nesfa. You can also contact me at my email address. The web address is [www.nesfa.org](http://www.nesfa.org)   To get to the clubhouse, you can take the 80 bus (drops you off a block away in either direction), and the 89 bus (drops you off on Broadway. Cross Broadway and go past the lights. NESFA will be on your right). There is a small lot in the back for cars (first come, first served) and metered parking on the street. I look forward to seeing you at the various events and thank you for taking the time to check out NESFA.
