Contemporary Kids: DIY Comic Publishing Workshop with Shea Proulx
Sunday, December 1, 1-3PM

Sunday, December 1, from 1-3PM — Collider artist-in-resident Shea Proulx will lead participants through a DIY Comic Publishing Workshop for our monthly Contemporary Kids program. Using a variety of mediums, partakers will build their own comic-‘Zine’ and learn how to self-publish their work.

This family event will give participants the opportunity to learn about the basics of visual story-telling. Proulx will present a step-by-step guide on how to set up standard page sizes for at home printing and discuss important printing techniques, terms and online publishing.

Recommended ages 9+. Please note, both children and guardians need to register for this program as we will have supplies for all!

Tickets are $10 per person.

ABOUT THE ARTIST

Shea Proulx spent her twenties going to forest-raves, living with a lot of strange people, and becoming over-educated at Emily Carr and UBC. Immediately after graduating with an MFA she discovered that she was totally pregnant. Juggling motherhood and artistic pursuits proved easier in Alberta, with the help of her mother, a fellow writer who really "gets" it. She's self-published two books, and her most recent book, Alice at Naptime, was published by Renegade Arts and Entertainment. Her work is a nerdy trip, where memories and observations co-mingle to form sweet psychedelic spaces, and visual narratives steal the show.
