Comics & Beer
Help the NCSML kick off the Year of Beer in style! Come and spend an afternoon laughing and learning about alternative comics and creativity while having a delicious beer with your friends. We will learn fun ways to tell stories using simple drawings and easy creative writing techniques. No drawing experience necessary!
