Comic Book/Zine workshop

Unleash your imagination in an original, do-it-yourself, punk rock way! Work with up to three others to create original stories which can include characters, dialogue, plot-lines, or even abstract ideas. Anything goes! We will help you create a digital file and/or physical copy of your work.

...(My son) loves to listen to music in his room, strum along on his guitar, and imagine that he is a part of the band. Now he is! My son does not have the intellectual ability to read music, but luckily the only prerequisite for this program is a love for music.

—Becca Mosolf

(My son) looks forward to every zoom meeting and is always ready to rock n roll with the band group. James can’t sing or play his guitar like others but that doesn’t stop him from trying. He is so proud to play with his band group.
