What are our important places – the places where we are safe, or challenged; where we learn and make memories? What places do we leave behind only to return to when we have been forever changed? Let’s find those places, map them with the textures and colors of the stories that fill and haunt them. From small spaces under beds, to large towns with hidden passageways, we’ll explore the places of our stories in this workshop.
Using writing and illustration prompts, we’ll make artistic zines about placemaking, and we’ll create a map of the places that are important to us and our characters. Our zines will be small tomes of memory that can fold out into maps to help us find our way back.
This workshop is perfect for stories in the making and folks interested in comics and illustration along with their story writing!
Masks will be required as we have medically sensitive folks attending, and want everyone to be able to participate.
