Small Press Expo Announces Signups for Workshops at SPX 2025

 

IF YOU HAVE ALREADY SIGNED UP FOR YOUR WORKSHOPS, IGNORE THIS EMAIL!!!!


SPX Announces the Workshops Track of Programming.


In addition to the 22 program panels, there will be 18 workshops over the two days of SPX 2025, to be held September 13 & 14 at the Bethesda North Marriott Hotel & Conference Center.


These workshops are free and open to any participants. They're aimed at a wide variety of ages and skill sets, from kids just starting out to experienced cartoonists looking to sharpen their skills with a master class. In response to last year's enthusiastic response, we will continue to have two figure drawing workshops featuring model Babs New(d). (18+ only, please.)


Graduates and representatives of the Center For Cartoon Studies (CCS), the Sequential Artists Workshop (SAW), and the School of Visual Arts (SVA) will be on hand to lead many of these workshops.



Here are a few highlights of this year's workshops:



  • Connecting With Your Audience Through Cover Design, with Briana Loewinsohn & Thien Pham
  • Mastering Pictorial Composition: Rewire Your Brain, with Celine Loup
  • Drawing The Shapes Of Feelings, with Mara Ramirez
  • Choose Your Own Path - Making Interactive Comics with Multiple Endings, with Bread Tarleton



Sign up for any of the 18 workshops at this year's show here on the SPX web site.


Any questions on the workshops, please send them to rob.clough@smallpressexpo.com

Small Press Expo (SPX) is the preeminent showcase for the exhibition of independent comics, graphic novels, and alternative political cartoons. SPX is a registered 501(c)3 nonprofit that brings together more than 500 artists and publishers to meet their readers, booksellers, and distributors each year. Graphic novels, mini comics, and alternative comics will all be on display and for sale by their authors and illustrators. The expo includes a series of workshops, panel discussions and interviews with this year's special guests.


The Ignatz Award is a festival prize held every year at SPX recognizing outstanding achievement in comics and cartooning, with the winners chosen by attendees at the show.
