Did you devour comics as a kid? Ever thought of creating your own comics or graphic work? Here’s a free chance to broaden your creative skills!

In this intense six-week series, cartoonist Jerzy Drozd invites adults and older teens to explore of some of the illustration and storytelling strategies used by professional cartoonists to create graphic novels, manga, and comic books. You'll learn how to choose the right moments in your story, how comics take advantage of the rules of art as well as literature, and how the illustration style you choose contributes to the tone of your work.

Can’t draw? No worries. If you can draw a stick figure you can create a great comics story.

Whatever story you want to create, this workshop will provide you with the tools you need to make your story a reality. We'll provide the pencils, erasers, paper, rulers, etc. Registration is required and can be done online, in person at any location, or by calling 327-8301.
