New Workshop coming up
Saturday and Sunday
October 18 & 19
Weekend Workshop
The Graphic Novel:
your way
Learn how to draw and write the stories we don’t talk about, the stories we repeat over and over, the stories we picture, the news “unfit” to print, those drawings in our files, the documents in the closet. Get them OUT of your head and soul - and onto paper. SHAKE it up; take time out from your everyday life and exercise the right side of your brain!
Come and join in this intensive workshop by Antoinette Martens. Paper, workbooks, ink, brushes, pens and more will be provided - but bring your favorite pens and notebooks, laptop, too! Resources will be on hand to read and look at for inspiration.
