Workshops

You will have the opportunity to meet Helena Klakočar at and after the opening of her retrospective exhibition in the gallery of Mednarodni grafični likovni center (the International Graphic Centre). On Friday, October 6th, Helena will demonstrate in theory and practice how she creates her comic stories. This will be followed by an interview with the artist. Apart from her comics and graphics, you will also have the opportunity to see her animated films.
Comic artists are not very common in these parts, which is why Helena Klakočar will conduct a workshop for all beginners who would like to seriously engage in comic storytelling. The title and the theme of the workshop is "Comic Diary". To make the workshop as serious as possible, we have split it into two timeslots (and a weekend in between) and limited it to 10 participants only. We guarantee you creative fun. All you have to do is simply apply on time (when applying, please include a portfolio of your selected drawings, if you have done any drawing already) and bring drawing materials with you.
Saturday morning will be dedicated to comic making for children aged 8 to 12 (exceptions accepted). The title of the workshop is "From Play to Newspaper". At the workshop you will have the opportunity to learn the whole process of comic making (from the idea to making a script, from translating the comic into English to drawing it by using different techniques and sending it to the publisher).
Both workshops have a limited number of participants. There is no admission fee, but prior application is required. The application date is Saturday, September 30th. Applications will be accepted at the office of the City of Women at 4 Kersnikova St., or by phone (01 4381580), fax (01 4381585) or e-mail (info@cityofwomen-a.si).
