The Ink Spot Club - Making comics

Comics can be made about anything, including your life. 

In this two hour workshop we’ll talk about different ways to make a short comic story about growing up. We’ll think up some fun ideas and then we’ll make one! 

Paper, pens/pencils provided (feel free to bring your favourite drawing pen if you want to)

Drawing skills not required (stick figures are cool.
