Students in Tom and Lauren's STORYARK
workshops (2 sessions and longer) work towards the creation
of a final "mini-comic" booklet. I show dozens
of examples of these of homemade comics. Anyone can
make one and eveyone goes home with a book that they've
made!
Workshops can be tailored
to any age group and time schedules. StoryArk workshops
are also perfect for English and writing classes.
