Dan Chambers Comics Workshop

Does your child love comics? Then they'll love this workshop, run by Bafta-winning animator, illustrator and comic artist Dan Chambers! With 20 years' experience, having animated, written, directed and voiced characters on world-class TV shows (including Peppa Pig, Charlie and Lola and Mr Bean) Dan's passion is making comics, and helping others make them. Comics are a unique artform that tie together many disciplines including storytelling, hand/eye coordination, planning, imagination, focus and problem-solving. The workshop starts with Dan drawing a live comic, built from the group's craziest suggestions and other fun techniques for generating characters, locations and ideas. Then everyone dives into their own comic, with Dan on hand for guidance and encouragement, but with a light touch, so kids can say the comic is 100% their own work. It's a fun, low-stakes, small-group session that fosters creativity, and many participants come back again and again. Dan's aim is for your child to leave with renewed inspiration, more confidence in their drawing, and a comic they've made entirely themselves. All materials supplied.
