The whole deal costs $15 ($10 for members), has food and drinks provided, and will teach you a bunch of skills on how to make comics. By the end of the hour long workshop you’ll have your own zine ready to roll.

Spend an hour with Eleri Mai Harris in a one-off workshop while she’s in Australia. It’ll be a table of comics, a pen, paper, and a projector, and you braving an illustration of your own. By the end of the hour you’ll have your own zine ready to distribute. Materials and photocopier supplied.
Eleri Mai Harris dropped out of her real life as an ABC producer in Canberra mid 2012 to pursue a Masters of Fine Arts at the Center for Cartoon Studies in White River Junction, Vermont, USA. While she thinks American indie comics, New England microbreweries and 50’s style diners are awesome, she misses the delicious laksas, sunsets and friends in our nation’s great capital.
