Post Content: Turn Your Life Story Into a Comic!
Discover the joy of visual storytelling with Calgary artist Rachelle Ymay Skilling in this four-week “Your Stories” comic workshop series at Carya- Village Commons (610 8 Ave SE). Whether you’re new to drawing or already love to doodle, this supportive class will help you explore your creativity, learn simple comic techniques, and bring a personal story to life on the page.
Each week, you’ll create a new “Your Story” comic—guided step-by-step by Rachelle as you experiment with layout, line work, and character expression. You’ll leave the series with a small collection of your own autobiographical comics and the confidence to keep creating long after the workshop ends.
Rachelle Ymay Skilling is a Calgary-based visual artist whose contemporary, geometric art and autobiographical comics explore themes of caregiving, identity, and lived experience. Her workshops are welcoming, encouraging, and designed for all skill levels—no drawing experience required. Come get inspired, tell your story, and discover what unfolds on the page.
