Drawing comics isn’t just about pictures and speech bubbles – it’s a fun way to share how we feel and talk about our experiences, including stuttering!
Stuttering can sometimes be hard to explain, and some people don’t understand it. But through comics, we can show others what it’s like in a way that’s creative and fun. How does your stuttering feel? How would you draw it? What do you want others to know?
In this workshop, we’ll help you make a comic all about your stutter! You don’t need to know how to draw, and everyone is welcome, even if you don’t stutter. We’ll give you paper and pencils to use.
At the end, if you want, you can share your comic with the group!
