"we had a six weeks block of comic strip workshops. everyone learned the basics of design, characters, comic strip elements. she was also incredibly lovely and travelled over to glasgow to meet up the young people at the comicon. she also asked some of the editors to give feedback to some of our young people - which was really well received!"
