Clare Foley Artist

I will be back in Dublin on 12th of October running two comics workshops for the Dublin Festival of History! 🙂
One workshop will be for teens and one is for adults, both are free to attend but registration is essential 🙂 links below.

‐------------------------------‐----------------

Explore the collections of Dublin City Library & Archives to create your own historical comic! Clare Foley (illustrator of the recent historical comic Fear and Fever: 14 Days of Typhoid in Edwardian Dublin, published by Dublin City Council) will show you how to create your own comics using real historical sources through hands-on exercises in this free workshop.

Part of the collaboration between Dublin City Library & Archives and the joint IRC/AHRC-funded Typhoid, Cockles & Terrorism: How a Disease Shaped Modern Dublin exhibition series – for more information visit www.typhoidland.org.

I was delighted to run two successful Heritage Week workshops (ages 12-16) in the Royal College of Physicians 😃 The workshops, 'Exploring the archives: Make your own historical comics' focused on how to create your own comics using real historical sources from the RCPI archive through hands-on exercises.
This was following on from the recent 'Fear & Fever: 14 days of Typhoid in Edwardian Dublin', the graphic novel I illustrated (written by Carly Collier and Class Kirchhelle) as part of the fantastic www.typhoidland.org project.
For anyone sad to have missed it - I'll be back again in a different venue in October! Will announce more details shortly 💭✍️
