As part of the Comicexhibtion Kus Comics aus Riga zu Gast in Bremen Kulturnetz e.V hosts a comicworkshop with Ingrida Picukane and Anna Vaivare.
Are there good and bad restrictions? Can we choose restrictions? Can we invent restrictions? Only in this workshop! In times when we are overwhelmed by restrictions this workshop invites you to immerse in them completely and apply restrictions also to drawing comics using them as a compositional technique that helps to draw and think differently. Comic artists Ingrida Picukane and Anna Vaivare from Latvia will share their experience and guide you from a blank page to a finished story with the help of various ways of limiting yourself. In this workshop each participant will create a 12 page zine.
The workshop will be held in English!
