This workshop will cover the nuts and bolts of sequential storytelling. You will learn how to master the secrets of good layout and characterisation.
Participants will create some fun short comics and one longer work by the end of the session, with plenty of ideas for more.
And best of all, you do not need to be an amazing artist to enjoy and get the most out of this action-packed and super productive session.
This workshop is suitable for children 7-12 years old. Parents can drop off and pick up their children in the Education Centre (Mezzanine level). Parents/guardians must stay in the State Library building for the duration of the workshop.
