Create a narrative booklet about a story from Portsmouth's past.
In the workshop you will explore three stories from Portsmouth's history and chose one to develop into a story.
You will then make a mini zine (an A6 booklet) to explain this story, using drawing, writing or a mixture of both. Learn how to highlight key information, structure your narrative and add drawn or collaged elements.
You will be provided with pictures of the events or people mentioned in your story, so you can add these to illustrate the text. Alternatively, develop your drawing skills by sketching some of the details.
I will provide the paper for the zine, as well a selection of materials to help you create and present the content(such as felt pens, pencil crayons and washi tape). However if you have a particular type of pen/pencil you like to write with or specific art materials you like to use, then bring those along.
Please note: You might not finish your zine in the time, but you will be able to take home any relevant pictures or paper materials needed to finish.
No artistic talent needed! All abilities welcome. Age 16+
The course runs from 1-4pm.
It will be held at my Hotwalls studio which is on the seafront in Old Portsmouth.
I will provide tea and coffee.
There are several parking options such as the Land Rover BAR car park and some on street parking.
Terms and Conditions:
Payment must be paid upon booking.
Cancellations may be made up to and including the day of participation for a full refund or change onto another course if available. However I would prefer if you could give two weeks notice so I can try to fill the space.
Workshops will only be held with sufficient participants and I may have to cancel certain sessions if the numbers are not made. If this happens you will be offered an alternative date or have your booking fee completely refunded. I will try and give you two weeks notice of any cancellations although this cannot be guaranteed due to unforseen circumstances such as Covid-19.
