  • 21st century career -  breaking into 2000AD and other comics
  • Zombie workshop -  a chance to learn and apply Zombie makeup and  monstrous moves.
  • Cosplay workshop – Learn some of the crafts of making costumes based on Anime and Manga creations.
  • The Science of Artemis Fowl with Dr Emma J. King

The downloadable pdf  is available here which describes the full programme. More information also on the Wexworlds website.  Am hoping to attend with some of my kids. It looks like it’ll be very interesting and entertaining.
