This Boskone workshop lasts about 2 hours. In the first 1-hour class our Guest Artist Charles Urbach describes the materials and discusses the reasoning and physical qualities involved with them. In the second 1-hour class, Charles demonstrates how to use the colored pencils to achieve the results that he produces with the pencils. That demonstration is a step-by-step process of material handling.

This workshop will run from 11:30-1:30 on Saturday, February 14, 2026 in the Galleria behind the Art Show. It is offered to Boskone members age 13 and up, and is limited to 20 people. This workshop costs $20, which is paid to Charles at the start of the first class.

Publishing physical books has become considerably more expensive over the years.
So we are here seeking your support for our next project, Dubious Pleasures, the NESFA Press Boskone Book for Boskone 63. This book is a group of previously published short stories by Greg Cox, our Guest of Honor at Boskone 63, February 13-15, 2026. The cover art is by Charles Urbach, our Official Artist.
