About the Workshop

Transform memories and build upon your own personal lore through the magic of  autobiographical comics. Join Bay Area comic artist Janelle Blarg in this hands-on workshop that explores writing and drawing the human experience. YOUR human experience! Learn to draw emotions, generate story ideas, tell both single panel and multiple-panel stories, and gain confidence through class exercises and peer feedback. 

This class is appropriate for adults of all skill levels, from beginner to advanced. You’ll leave the class with your own 8-page mini comic and an exciting stockpile of notes, ideas, and new techniques for future projects. This is a chance to be brave and imperfect in a fun and supportive environment. We eagerly await your stories!
