Aug 17-Aug 21 9AM-12PM
A CAMP for creating comics. You bring the drawing talent, we’ll bring the storytelling techniques.
You'll learn character building
You'll learn visual storytelling
You'll learn about plot and dramatic action
Then...
You'll put it all together and make your own comic!
BUT, that's not all!
We'll throw you a comics release party AT OUR SHOP, where you can invite friends, parents, and whoever you want!
We'll print comics from the CAMP into a book and feature it AT OUR SHOP!
What better way to spend your summer than to learn all about comics?
