SAW Local: 8 Week Comics Working Group Starting April 24, 2024

Apr 4

Continue your comics making journey in a safe, supportive space with this new accountability and feedback group meeting weekly in the SAW space to draw, swap tips and workshop work in progress.

8 Week Comics Working Group with Carly Shooster Starting Wednesday April 24 from 7PM to 9PM

Do you have a project that you can’t find time to work on? Do you need another set of eyes on your work in progress? Join Carly Shooster for 8 weeks of guided studio time. Designed to keep you accountable with your latest project and jump start your regular art practice.
