SUMMARY:Make Your Own Mini-Comic Workshop with Colleen AF Venable
DESCRIPTION:Did you know many of today’s favorite kids’ graphic novelists got their start making scrappy\, mini-comics by hand? In this workshop\, participants will dream up characters\, build their own worlds\, and shape a story from start to finish. They will also get a lesson in paper engineering\, learning to fold a mini book from a single sheet of paper\, as well as rubber stamp carving techniques to design their own original covers. By the end\, each child leaves with a comic that’s entirely their own. \n  \nIMPORTANT EVENT INFORMATION: \n\nThis program is designed for youth ages 8-12\, accompanied by their grown-ups.\nThere is a $5 materials fee for this workshop. We understand that these are challenging times for many families. If you need to have the fee waived\, simply use the discount code YOUTH2026 when registering.\nThis workshop takes place in The Mount’s Stable Auditorium\, an indoor\, climate-controlled venue adjacent to the parking lot.\nSeating for all Mount programs is first-come\, first-served.
