Do you know a creative kid who loves manga and comics and dreams of making their own, but doesn’t know where to start? Then this is the exciting comics class for you! Together, students will learn how to bring their characters, stories, and worlds to life - one panel at a time! From silly superheroes to slice-of-life adventures, students will explore how to write, draw, and design their very own comic pages. 

In this class, we delve into the fundamentals of creating a comic with a professional comics artist guiding the way. Each week, we will focus on different parts of creating a comic, ultimately writing and illustrating an eight-page zine! 

• Writing stories, characters, and settings 

• Drawing panels, gutters, and page layouts

• Building an eight-page zine to tell your own story! 

Whether your child loves graphic novels, doodles in the margins, or dreams of becoming an illustrator, this class gives them the tools and confidence to tell their stories their way. All levels welcome—no fancy drawing skills required, just imagination and a sense of humor!

Taught by teaching artist Kat Klockow, this class meets on November 8, 15, and 22 from 11:00-11:50am at the Issaquah Community Center. No experience necessary. All supplies and materials provided by Happy Time Studio.

Cost: $80-$96
