Immerse your child in the exciting world of comic book creation with this engaging art taster session. Designed especially for kids aged 8 to 12, this workshop encourages creativity through character invention and storytelling. No prior art experience is needed, making it perfect for beginners eager to explore visual arts.
Children will invent their own unique characters and begin crafting stories around them. They will learn how to draw and assemble their own comic book page, guided by Kieran Clancy-Lowe, a practising visual artist and actor. The session focuses on nurturing creativity, decision-making, and problem-solving skills in a supportive environment.
This is a taster session previewing a more extensive five-week Term 3 module starting Wednesday 22 July. During the full course, students will complete a full comic by the fifth week. The workshop runs for one hour, from 15:30 to 16:30, on two Wednesdays: 8 July and 15 July 2026.
The sessions take place at The Place, located at 12 Victoria St, Lewisham NSW 2049. The venue is accessible and welcoming, providing a comfortable space for children to explore their artistic talents.
No previous art experience is required, making this workshop accessible to all skill levels. The instructor holds a current Working With Children Check, ensuring a safe environment. Parents can feel confident their children are in good hands while having fun and learning.
The cost for each child to attend a single session is $30. Booking is required to secure a spot, as places may be limited. This session offers a great opportunity to try out comic-making before committing to the full five-week course.
