The William Stok Arts Centre presents:
This is a course of comics and illustration and students are free to express their own research.
Even if students are designing using a comics style, those who are interested in illustration do not necessarily have to following the graphic course: they can drew portraits, animals or landscapes in a realistic manner.
The course is for students from the age of 6 to pensioners, amateur and professional individuals.
