Service Description

Date: 31 July 2025 Time: 9:30-16:30 (includes a one-hour lunch break) Cost: £90 (includes all materials and refreshments. Lunch not included – please bring a packed lunch.) Age: students aged 11+ with a creative spark and an interest in visual storytelling Spend a full day exploring the art of visual storytelling — from designing original characters to bringing them to life in your very own comic strip. In the morning session, you’ll dive into the world of character design, learning how to create unique and expressive characters using key techniques like silhouette, colour palette, exaggeration, and shape language. You'll sketch, develop personality through design, and build a character that feels ready for the screen or page. After a one-hour lunch break, the afternoon session shifts into comic creation. Using the characters you've designed — or starting fresh — you’ll learn how to tell stories through images. Explore how to use layout, expression, and visual pacing to craft a one-page comic strip with minimal text and maximum impact. By the end of the day, you'll have created a fully realised character and a short comic that brings your ideas to life — all guided by professional artists and designers.
