Saturday 24/10 | KomiksFEST!

VELKÁ KOMIKSOVÁ SOBOTA V MEETFACTORY

24. 10., MeetFactory, Ke Sklárně 15 (vstup 50,–) 

Children’s KomiksFEST! with the publishing house ALBATROS

(10 am—1 pm)

We all know that Fear has a thousand eyes! Small and big visitors of the workshop will get to know the characters of the comics series Zelený vlk (Green wolf) and will look closely at their own fear while creating a mask (Karel Jerie). In the workshop The Mystery of the House of Jan Hus you will be able to make your own comics story about Jan Hus; you will find out where he came from, how he played up at school and what worried him during his stay at Kozí hrádek (Klára and Honza Smolíkovi). The castle Brada is haunted! You can learn to recognise ghosts with Bertík and Bibi and join them on their adventure to the dungeon. Or you can cut out some cutouts with Kája and Filip (Tomáš Chlud). Do you want more than just a pencil and paper? In this case, make your own original 3D comics with a legendary motorcyclist Doctor Racek (Seagull) (Lukáš Urbánek), make some finger puppets full of moods with Radush and Johy, or try some digital sketching (Wacom). Following a tradition, you can draw a comics badge and win a lot of interesting books.
