**Welcome to the informal**
**Skyscapito Appreciation Society**!

We are a global group of sky watchers, cloud aficionados, weather geeks, field sketchers, and nature journalers.

We “met” on Facebook through the Nature Journal Club and the Wild Wonder Nature Journaling Conference, and I am one of the “hosts” (Roseann Hanson) along with Bethan Burton of Journaling With Nature, and Deborah Conn.

We will be hosting semi-regular Skyscapito Appreciation Society Zoom meetups to share our skyscapes, ask questions, talk paint and pens and resists and cloud morphology . . . to learn and enjoy the company of our “Sky Tribe.”

Sign up below for email notifications if you would like to find out when we have meetups (this is Roseann’s Field Arts list, so you will also receive occasional emails about other workshops and products related to the field arts).

You can also check our calendar below and recordings of past meetups.
