Lavender Menace and illustrator Candice Purwin welcome you to Comics for Connection, an afternoon workshop in our archive where you will learn how to make your own art and zines on the topic of connection. Whatever your connection to queerness, to spaces and places, to self and others here and afar, the workshop aims to show you how to create a meaningful bridge through art and storytelling. 

No experience of art, drawing, collage or zine-making is required to attend – just your enthusiasm! We will have basic art supplies but you are welcome to bring along your favourites. Candice Purwin is an illustrator, graphic novelist and animator living and working in Edinburgh.

Her work is feminist, political, poetic and fierce. Her ability to communicate powerful and emotionally complex ideas through images has led to her co-creating work with a wide range of artists, academic bodies and collectives. While she is able to adapt her traditional hand drawn craft across many disciplines, panelled storytelling remains her first and best language.
