Get ready to unleash your creativity in this fast-paced, idea-packed workshop all about making your own mini-comics. Through fun prompts and simple folding techniques, you’ll learn how to turn a single sheet of paper into a complete comic—no experience needed. Explore character creation, visual storytelling, and playful experimentation as you sketch, write, and assemble your own tiny worlds. Perfect for beginners and seasoned doodlers alike, this workshop is all about big ideas in small formats—and embracing a little creative chaos along the way.
This workshop is located in the classroom.
