John and Sandra, the shiny duo behind Metaphrog comics, have a comics workshop this weekend in one of the my very favourite Glasgow institutions, the wonderful Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum (as seen in Denise Mina’s run on Hellblazer, although now mostly demon free). From the description: “Learn how they make their own Louis graphic novels, create your own characters and develop your own story, from initial idea through to storyboard and finished comic.” The workshop runs from 1pm to 4pm on Sunday 31st of January and like the museum is absolutely free; check the museum’s site for more details on how to reserve a place.
