K's Kettle with Guest Nicole Kelner

​Join us for a cozy comic-making session with cartoonist K. Woodman-Maynard and guest artist Nicole Kelner where we'll be drawing short comics on the theme of weather.

​In K’s Tuck Everlasting and The Great Gatsby graphic novels, weather plays an important role in the story, and she’ll share how she depicts it in comics-specific ways. Nicole uses art as a tool for climate communication, bringing a unique lens to our theme.

​K and Nicole will chat while we all make comics for about 40 minutes. No pressure—just a welcoming space to create, learn, and connect. For the last 15 minutes, for those who want to, we’ll share our comics together.

​Bring your sketchbook, tablet, or favorite drawing tools, and get ready for a cozy hour of storytelling and drawing in good company.

​All skill levels welcome!
