Illustrator Simon Bukhave, who has worked for over 20 years and illustrated more than 70 books for children and young people, leads this hands-on workshop on how time works in comics. Unlike film, where one image follows another, a comic page shows several moments at once, which makes time far more elastic. We explore what happens in the white space between panels and how you can speed up or slow down a story.
The session also looks at shifting viewpoints, moving between seeing characters from the outside and seeing the world through their eyes. Everyone is helped to develop their own ideas and draw a short comic, and you do not need to be an experienced drawer to take part.
Bukhave is also teaching another workshop in this series at the same venue on 12 November 2026.
