Do you like drawing? Do you like comics and manga? Do you want to learn more about making you own comics, AND see your creation in print?!

Come to our Comic and Manga Creation Workshops at the Central Library, held Wednesday afternoons in April! Andrew Farago, curator of the Cartoon Art Museum in San Francisco, will be teaching you what you need to know to write scripts, layout panels, bring your drawings to life, and see your work in print!

The three workshops will be in the Third Floor Meeting Room at the Central Library on Kittredge and Shattuck in Downtown Berkeley on the following dates:

  • April 11th from 4 to 5:30
  • April 18th from 4 to 5:30
  • April 25th from 4 to 5:30

You don’t have to be able to make it to every workshop to participate! Paper, pens, and other materials will be provided. At the end of the workshop we will publish all the work created during the course in a book which will be given to all participants and added to our collection!

These workshops are FREE and open to anyone who wants to come, but please RSVP by e-mailing Jack at jbaur@ci.berkeley.ca.us.

Hope to see you there!
