Cartooning Classes Mairangi Bay
Hi Everyone
This is an open studio cartooning group focusing on comics and illustration. This course will enable the students to focus on their own imagery and ideas and develop the skills to pursue these ideas into completed form, either as finished self-published zine / comic books or shared with the wider world through digital media.
The course will cover the languages and symbols of comics. It will include different genres and possibilities such as autobiographical comics, experimental/abstract comics, comics journalism, as well as more traditional comic forms of gag strips, superheroes and manga. We will teach and utilise a wide range of tools & techniques in creating comics, from basic drawing with pencils/pens/pastels to printmaking & painting. A big part of comics is being able to reproduce them and the course would include creative photocopying, scanning & digital manipulation as well as layout & design of finished comics and books.
The course is open to people of all abilities and ages. It will provide a collaborative and empowering space for the creation & sharing of an expanded comic art form. It will tell the stories of its participants and give them a real presence and voice in the world.

What's your favourite tomato recipe?
Kia ora neighbours. We know your tomato plants are still growing, but we're looking ahead to the harvest already! If you've got a family recipe for tomatoes, we'd love to see it and maybe publish it in our magazine to share with our readers. Send your recipe to mailbox@nzgardener.co.nz, and if we use it in the mag, you will receive a free copy of our February 2025 issue.
Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
