Friends of Lulu is sponsoring a free comics workshop, which they expect to turn into a monthly event, in Berkeley, California. On Saturday 2 February from 12:30 to 5:30PM, at the Berkeley Central Library (2090 Kittredge Street, Berkeley, CA 94704), the guest speaker will be Viz Media manga editor Shaenon Garrity.
No reservation is required, “just bring a sketchbook, or just yourself.” The goal of this workshop is “to give busy artists a day of creative refuge in a fun and social setting.” For more information (but what more do you need?), see this page.
Friends of Lulu is “a national nonprofit organization whose purpose is to promote and encourage female readership and participation in the comic book industry.”
