FOLDiN’ FUNNiES! Cartoon Art Workshop (6+)
Thursday 20th August, 10.30-12pm.

It's time to learn the basics of comic-making in both traditional and unconventional ways. We'll explore storytelling, character creation, and comic design before folding our pages into unique, interactive "FOLDiN' FUNNiES" unlike anything you've seen before. By the end of the session, you'll leave the studio with your very own finished comic, whether that's a single issue of the greatest comic you've ever created, for especially prolific cartoonists, a fantastic four-issue mini-series to take home and add to your bookshelf.

Anything goes! Throughout the workshop, cartoonist Marc makes comics will be on hand to offer guidance, share creative tips, and help you turn your ideas into a completed masterpiece.

Parents/Adults: Feel free to stay and watch the workshop, or drop off and catch-up on those pesky work emails with a coffee from the bakery downstairs.
