Workshops

Monthly Comic Meetups

Funtime Comics has a long tradition of monthly workshops, running for almost thirty years. Workshops are friendly and informal, and always involve a cuppa and a chat as well as drawing. Some people bring their own work in progress, others just paper and pens. We have a long tradition of jam comics and other collaborative work, so even if you don't have an idea ready to work on, we can usually provide a half-finished story you can contribute to.

Newcomers are always welcome, and will be granted the respectful title of "New Boy" or "New Girl" until such time as they are deemed to be regulars.

When

2nd Saturday of each month, starting around 1pm and finishing around 6pm.

Where

Tūranga Christchurch Central Library.
Auahatanga | Creativity, Level 4
Taupuni Waihanga / Production Studio

Check our Facebook group before you set out for any updates to the workshop.

Children

Children are welcome, and artists often bring their own kids along. However a few points may be important:

Children must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.
There's no organised programme of teaching: we're literally just a bunch of people who come to draw comics together.
Some artists may be working on adult material.
We can't guarantee that there will be other children present at any given workshop. We find things work best if children bring a friend or two with them.

What to bring

Comics you're already working on.
Comics you've done in the past that you'd like to show people.
Pens and pencils and drawing implements.
Paper to draw on.
Packaged Snack food (remember it's a library), and bottled drink.

Comic jamming

We usually pass around a few jam comics, where people take turns adding to an ongoing story. They're great if you're not sure where to start, or you need a warm-up.
