ONLINE WORKSHOP SERIES: Drawing the Inside Out - Making Comics from Your Life w/ comics artist Georgia Webber

Thursdays February 25 - March 18 * 7pm * REGISTER to receive Zoom link

Drawing the Inside Out is a collection of online comics classes for adults and teens who want to create comics from their life experience. When and how we choose to declare ourselves to the world is hard to control in life, but in art, we hold all the power. For those struggling to know themselves, and to feel their own agency and creativity, comics are a powerful tool for reflection, enjoyment, community, and self-discovery.

Georgia Webber is a comics artist, writer, and editor. She adores teaching and demonstrates a philosophy that teaching is support first, allowing the learning process to be fun and organic and suited to each learner’s specific access needs. Georgia is best known for her graphic memoir, Dumb: Living without a Voice (Fantagraphics 2018), the chronicle of her severe vocal injury and sustained vocal condition, which makes using her voice painful. This experience led her to work as a Cranial Sacral Therapist, a meditation facilitator, and as an improvising musician, blending elements of healthcare, body awareness, and creative expression within constraints. She has extended her love of the voice into the community with a project called MAW Vocal Arts, a live event series in Toronto. Georgia most recently collaborated with dancer, athlete, and artist Vivian Chong to create Vivian's graphic memoir about losing her sight: Dancing After TEN (Fantagraphics 2020).
