Tell Your Family Story Comic Workshop
The following description was submitted by the event organizer.
Join a family workshop led by Nadia Shaik, where young artists explore the unique world of comic creation. Through prompts inspired by family history, memories, and heritage, create your own comic using collage materials and personal stories. Bond with family over shared memories and unleash your creativity together. Maybe a story about a childhood toy or a memory from a grandparent will come up. Whatever it is, you’ll enjoy this class that will bring your family together.
