Caithness artist
in residence 2024
As part of my Community Artist in Residence position with Lyth Arts Centre I’ve been running the Caithness Comics Club!
The club is a space for young people aged 8-12 and 13-19 to explore new ways of storytelling and creating art for comics, as well as a place to meet and collaborate with fellow comic fans.
Participants in the club had the opportunity to have their comics published in an anthology of “Caithness Futures”, a collection of stories inspired by young people’s hopes, fears, and expectations. The book was printed and distributed to the participants, their friends and family, and local schools/libraries.
The Caithness Comics Club is continuing for 12-17 year old young people in 2025! For more information, visit:
