Teen Cartooning Workshop: Wednesdays July 16th – August 13th from 4-5 pm

Join Ryan Abb for  5 weeks of cartooning classes starting July 16th from 4-5 pm. Ryan was here earlier this year for another program series, which was a big hit. You won’t want to miss this.

If you love monsters, manga, and art, this is the class for you! Create your own eye-catching comics with stories that will surprise. Drawing on elements of art history, mythical creature design, and cartoonism, this class will help teens tell their own unique stories! Each week will explore a different aspect of the creation of your story and comic.
