Thinking about sharing your personal experience in a short comic or full-length book?
This 3-hour workshop will introduce you to writing a graphic memoir and is packed with drawing and writing exercises. You'll learn the basics of composition, focus, viewpoint and story.
People of all drawing abilities are encouraged to join. This workshop is ideal for graphic narrative junkies, graphic narrative newbies, artists, writers and people with an interesting story to tell.
