We are so excited to announce the following workshop on September 22nd, facilitated by our Comics Creator Residency:
Monsters and Magic: a creature creation workshop with Lina Wu
In this free workshop, participants will explore their relationships with magical creatures to develop and use monsters as a tool for storytelling. A presentation on the artist’s personal process as well as inspiration and techniques will be followed by time for participants to create their own Monster File to take home. Materials and snacks will be provided.
