For The Kids!

For The Kids!

There is plenty for all ages at the More Than Words – Clevedon Literary Festival this year! 

While much of the programme is perfect for anyone of any age interested in books, writing and fiction… We have some events specifically designed for littler ones. Take a look at our listings for kids, taking place on the 9th – 12th June, 2022 

Kev F’s Children’s Comic Art Masterclass

Sat 11th 

10am-12noon

Christchurch

Chapel Hill

BS21 7LL

Tickets £7

7-12yrs 

Well known for his writing and comic strip creations, Kev F Sutherland will teach you everything he knows showing you how easy comics can be. After the end of the Comic Art Masterclass, everyone goes away with a comic containing a strip by everyone in the class plus an individual caricature by Kev F.

Learn everything he knows, so you could leave school and steal his job!

Kev F Sutherland has written and drawn comic strips for everyone from The Beano to Marvel Comics, from Doctor Who to Viz magazine, and most points in between. 

His three new graphic novels adapt Shakespeare with a twist: Findlay Macbeth is a salesman in 1970s Scotland, Hamlet Prince Of Denmark Street is in a punk rock band, and The Midsummer Night’s Dream Team takes Shakespeare’s comedy and turns it into a heist movie. Since 2021 he has published a series of Pop Star Colouring Books, with illustrations and articles on everything from Eurovision and Punk to David Bowie and Rom Coms. https://www.kevfcomicartist.com
