Comic making workshop (8-12 years)

Learn the basics of structuring a compelling story and how these principles apply to comics. Then, discover how sequencing images changes their meaning as well as how to use panel gutters and page-turns to maximum effect. You’ll get to bring everything you have learned together to make a simple one-page comic, before expanding it into a four-page comic book complete with cover. Plus, you will go home with a blank 10-page comic you can use to tell your next comic story!

Chris’s 2023 debut graphic novel 'Under Kingdom' was a middle grade fantasy-comedy with an emphasis on non-violent problem solving. Earlier this year, Chris had a licensed Rick and Morty Comic 'Rick and Morty Presents: Finals Week' published through Oni Press. His new graphic novel 'Earth to Chris Cleevy' is due out next year.
