In this workshop, students will create their unique painting on an 16" x 20" canvas. Due to the nature of the materials, completed paintings will be left to dry and available for pick-up after two days, during The Dairy Barn’s regular hours Tuesday-Friday 9:00 AM - 5:00 PM, and Saturday-Sunday 12:00 PM - 5:00 PM.

Teaching Artist, Savannah Fish, has experience teaching individuals with diverse abilities, and creating an inclusive learning environment. She invites you to discover the joy of creating beautiful art together!

A296 Comix Guild: Part 1

$60

with Ariel Martian

Calendar Apr 1, 2026 at 5:30 pm, runs for 4 weeks

**Dairy Barn Members at the Individual Level or higher enjoy a 10% Discount**

For Ages 16+

Join Dairy Barn Teaching Artist, Ariel Martian, in drawing inspiration by the books “Cartooning” by Ivan Brunetti, and “Making Comics” by Lynda Barry. In this new class, Ariel shares her decades-long experience drawing comics, offering students a space to explore comics as a dynamic visual story telling medium. 

The emphasis in the class will be a DIY approach to story-telling through sequential drawing.  We’ll cover some finer points specific to cartooning, such as penciling, inking, panel design, word balloon styles, and sound effects. We’ll also explore different printing and binding methods. 

In Comix Guild: Part 1, students will explore simple story-telling techniques with and without words; dabble in character design, and layout; then finally bring these elements all together in a simple, but versatile, folded zine format. 

Students should purchase their own mixed-media sketchbook in size of choice.
