Storyworks

Magic Torch Comics CIC are delighted to have received over £67.000 from National Lottery Community Fund, to support our new 2 year project, 'Storyworks', running from Summer 2023 - 2025.

The project will work with young people to create a whole range of stories and publications, developed in collaborative workshops delivered all across Inverclyde. In addition to our traditional comics workshops, we'll also be creating escape rooms. storymaking card games, storymaps, an illustrated storybook, a podcast audio drama, a choose your own adventure style game book and a collaborative comic sharing one panel a day over a whole year. It's our most ambitious project to date, including lots of things we have wanted to do for ages. And of course, all the things that we create, we'll be sharing for free, online and at community events, so even if you don't want to get involved directly, you can still enjoy all the stories we'll tell.

Our first workshops are already scheduled for over the summer, with Inverclyde Libraries and Mind Mosaic Child & Family Therapies and we've been in touch with a few other Inverclyde groups about projects in the Autumn - but we're looking to work with as many people as possible, so if your group or organisation would like to be involved, drop us a line via the form below. We'll be working with lots of groups and organisations across Inverclyde, but we'll also be running open sessions which anyone will be able to book up for, so if you would like to be kept up to date on those opportunities, then please also sign up below.

We look forward to telling stories with you soon...
