Want to do Hourly Comics Day this February but you have no idea how to get started? Want to try out drawing some comics in a low-pressure environment? Never heard of Hourly Comics Day before? Join us at the Print Shop on Saturday Jan 27th from 12 to 2 pm for an in-person event where we’ll talk about what Hourly Comics Day is, how it got started, why people do it, and why it’s super fun. We’ll have a range of materials on site for you to try out as well as templates and other comics tools. Registration requested, limited to 15 people due to shop capacity. This session and the materials are made possible through support from the Print Shop, Holyoke ART, and the Holyoke Local Cultural Council (a program of the Massachusetts Cultural Council). All ages are welcome and families are encouraged, though we do ask grownups to stay with their kiddos as we will not have child care on site and there are some sharp things in the shop.
Can’t make it but would like a materials kit? Let us know when you register.
