Sunday, September 19th - Comic Masterclass

By Beano Illustrator Kev Sutherland

I can work with two groups in a day, maximum 30 in each group, and I need a minimum of two hours for each. Year 3 or older only. By the end of each session they'll have produced a comic with a strip in by each of them, which I run off on the photocopier and they each take a copy home, along with a caricature I'll have drawn of every one of them.

Full details very soon.
