Join us for our last workshop of the season on December 12th with returning EAST artist Lindsay “LA” Johnson for comic book creation! Lindsay will explore the art of comics and how they bring stories to life. Kids will learn the basic building blocks of how to create characters, story arcs, and drawing to create their own personal comic book! We hope to see you for this very special event.
