This special meeting of Comix Club will feature a comics workshop taught by Bryn Ziegler on approaching revisions at the pencil stage.

To participate, bring a sketched comic page that you're open to getting feedback on (ideally an in-progress page that can be workshopped) and photocopied to pass around and share with everyone else. We'll go over common compositional pitfalls in an interactive activity, talk about why they happen, strategies to spot and address them, and finally work on edits.

Bryn Michelson-Ziegler is a Philadelphia-based artist and educator specializing in intricate narrative books. She holds an MFA in Book Arts and Printmaking from University of the Arts. Bryn’s practice encompasses both contemporary digital techniques and profoundly traditional craft, giving her a unique perspective on the development of books and comics today.

 Anyone age 18+ is welcome to stop by to read or draw comics during Comix Club whether they are taking part in the workshop or not. We'll be providing some blank paneled pages and other drawing supplies. We are also gathering comics made during these meetings for a future Comix Club zine.  If you are a Philadelphia-based artist with a comic of your own, or have any local comics you’d like to donate to this collection, feel free to bring them to our meet-ups!

The Philadelphia Comics Collection is also available to read in the library any time we are open! This collection contains work by local comics artists and publishers. Please be aware that the content of many of these comics is mature and graphic in nature, and so we ask that its readers be 18 and up.

Comix Club usually meets every last Thursday of the month in the Art Department, on Parkway Central Library's 2nd floor.
