Comic School is taking registrations! Our first ever formalized comic instruction course starts April 13, and is taught by the super team of Natalie Mark & Rhael McGregor! This 6 week course will give you comprehensive, foundational knowledge on building stories with words and pictures.

What you may not know is that all fees collected for the class go back into paying our instructors a competitive post-secondary rate, in addition to a rate for developing the course. It also covers supplies, and management of the venue--our studio in downtown Winnipeg! Registering for these courses guarantees the instructors a living wage, allows PCF to continue running and plan new courses, all while giving you the tools and resources to develop your craft.

Head over to the link in our bio to see the class breakdown and to sign up! SPACE IS LIMITED. PCF members get a discount; taxes included in fees :3

Natalie 麥月明 is Q***r Chinese-Canadian artist of Toisan descent who works primarily with narratives. Their work is somewhere between a reflection of life and a little bit curious.
Natalie loves going to their neighbourhood library, playing table top games, and making comics!

RHAEL MCGREGOR (THEY/THEM/THEIRS) is a Winnipeg-based, Métis & two-spirit/queer award-winning comic artist.

They've been in the comics scene since 2018 with their debut comic TINDER, and have since gone on to publish work with HarperCollins, Iron Circus, and Highwater Press.

Rhael's work mainly revolves around Indigenous and Q***r literature in fantasy or sci-fi settings, focusing on representation, the connections between people, character growth, and spreading joy. They are currently an instructor with Red River College in the Animation Department.

For today's Annual General Meeting, we will do our best to go LIVE on our YouTube channel. If the Live doesn't work, we will still record the presentation and post it there after the fact!

If you'd like to come in person, head over to the studio; there will be free coffee from MAS with a side of fresh Oh Doughnuts 😇
