Starting October 7th, our regular Draw Jam on the first Saturday of the month will instead be a two day event for 24 hour comics day!

Mid-October, we are thrilled to have award-winning cartoonist, Tommi Parrish (@tommi_pg) lead a week-long Visiting Artist Workshop in the SAW Studio; our usual monthly Drink and Draw on October 19th at Boxcar hosted by SAW alums, Amy @sunshineblossoms and Elli @s0ftpillow; and a free artist talk with Tommi Parish at Third House Books @thirdhousebooks starting at 7:30PM on October 20th…

This Weeklong Comics Retreat is designed to break you out of your regular routine and drop you into a room alongside other cartoonists and comics lovers. We will be prioritizing time in the studio drawing and workshopping projects in small groups.

In this fall teen comics class, students will be developing their comics making skills, flexing their storytelling muscles and trying their hand at new image making techniques.

By the end of the 10 weeks, each student will walk away with multiple comics pages and a reproducible comics zine. They will also have an opportunity to exhibit their work in a Friday night artwork exhibition Friday November 25.

In this 6-week program you will be guided through the basic principles of figurative and landscape drawing with a view to developing an eye for composition and strengthening your artmaking confidence. Come prepared to draw from life and imagination. These are adult, in-person workshops.

It’s that time of the month again. Venture forward if want to hear more about what we’ve been working on behind the scenes here at SAW!
