Workshops
Crazy Comic Club Workshops:
Workshops can be tailored to suit your aims and outcomes, and can range from 90 minute workshops to in-depth courses. Drop me a line if you’d like further ideas, or to find out if there are any workshops happening near you. Workshop possibilities are as limitless as the imagination.
Workshops for Kids
One off, individual comics can be made, drawn and collated from scratch. Alternatively the artwork can be professionally printed into a unique, limited edition comic for each child as a special souvenir of the workshops.
It doesn’t have to be a comic in the traditional sense. It could be a puzzle book, a recipe book, something non-fiction (we’ve had a dinosaur encyclopedia and a history of airships lately!) even a choose-your-own-adventure type comic.
I’m always developing new workshops, here’s just a few:
- Comic-making workshops
- X-Ray Specs Making and secret code comics
- The Crazy Comic Club Gameshow
- Badge-making
- Giant Comic Strip
This is just the tip of the iceberg. I use many specially developed learning aids, such as the Story Generator, which help structure the creativity. Please contact me for more details on workshops.
I am also available to hold incredibly, awesomely exciting workshops at parties and events. All such brilliant fun the kids don’t even notice how much they’re learning!
Manga Workshops
For older children and teenagers I run more specific and advanced workshops, for example in Japanese manga comic art techniques. Manga is a very distinctive and hugely popular phenomenon.
Workshops for Adults
Comics are an intrinsic and often overlooked part of our culture – The Beano is as essential to our national identity as fish and chips or a nice cup of tea! This makes them an all the more powerful medium with which to address complex, challenging or personal issues.
It proves that comics are an accessible, non-threatening way of allowing people with a diverse range of needs to express themselves. They aren’t as intimidating as a wordy novel, nor burdened with the intellectual elitism of ‘fine’ art!!!
The social and community benefits of comics as a form of expression are far-reaching and I truly believe that with them we can change the world!
Giant Cartoon Strip
The longest one we have yet created was for Car Free Day in Brighton – 120 metres long!!! Will that ever be beaten?!!! We can also create giant cartoon strips as a mural on the walls of your space or venue.
Also Top Trumps creating, sticker making, illustration or manga workshops, pop-up books, The Crazy Comic Club Gameshow! And coming soon: Badge-making!
