Kids' School Holiday Event: Create Your Own Comic Book Character

A creative workshop for children in school years 3-6 to design and develop their own comic book characters.

Immerse your child in the exciting world of comic book creation with this engaging school holiday event. Designed specifically for children in school years 3 to 6, this workshop offers a unique opportunity to explore storytelling and character design in a fun and supportive environment.

What to Expect

Participants will join Christof Bogacs, a renowned comic book author and video game writer, to learn how to build compelling characters by balancing their flaws, strengths, and motivations.
