Get your pencils ready and explore Glasgow’s marvellous medicine!

We’ve teamed up with the Scottish Book Trust and their Live Literature programme to host a fun, family workshop of comic creation with writer and illustrator, Adam Murphy.

Taking his inspiration from the 16th century foundations of the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Glasgow, Adam will be creating a short comic telling the marvellous, if sometimes gruesome, story of medicine and surgery in Glasgow at that time. It will then be the turn of the group to try their hand at creating their own comic masterpiece with Adam on hand to teach techniques in drawing and storytelling.

A perfect afternoon for all budding illustrators and comic fans!

The workshop is free to attend and is suitable for ages 8+ (children must be accompanied by an adult). Refreshments will be available.

Please book your place by emailing library@rcpsg.ac.uk or calling 0141 221 6072.
