    Journaling with Comics acknowledges that people journal for all sorts of reasons. Maybe for you it helps you keep track of things, or you like to vent somewhere, or it helps you process? Comics are a powerful journaling method that can be worked into your routine whether you just want to scribble them on sticky notes during your lunch break, or you prefer to keep a designated sketchbook to experiment with different tools and techniques. Sarah will share a few of her favourite styles of comic journal entries and guide you through creating your own! All drawing skill levels welcome.


    Don't be afraid of no ghosts; and you don't need to call Ghostbusters for Ghost Club . There's nothing (disappointingly? for some) very frightening at all. Join comics-maker and sculptor Jessica McLeod as she introduces you to her spooky/cute world of creativity.You'll start in the Message in a Bottle exhibition at Spectrum Gallery as Jessica shows you some of her beautiful work, then head over to the Big Comics Spiegeltent where you'll design and sculpt our own little ghosts.

    Strictly 12 Eventbrite reservations are available so don't delay.
