SUMMARY:Optimist Comics Academy - Week 10 (Last Session!)
DESCRIPTION:Restoried Bookshop is excited to host the Wednesday sessions for Optimist Comics Academy- HERE in Albany Park! \nFor area middle and high school students with a passion for storytelling\, this is an incredible chance to learn from professionals how to take your stories from shaping your idea to finishing the program with a published comic in your hand. Additionally\, the end of the program culminates in a convention where participants across the city can showcase their hard work and what they’ve created. \nCourses are held weekly here at Restoried from 4:30pm-6:30pm for 10 weeks.
