May 2025 News and Events
I just couldn’t wait until May to tell you about these awesome events we have planned for you next month! Back by popular demand, we’re partnering with Melon Press to offer another Risograph Workshop—this time making one-page zines. We’re also hosting two outdoor events—one with Bad Drawing Club and another Feathered Friends Sketchcrawl with Dan Zettwoch. And don’t forget about Free Comic Book Day on May 3 and our monthly Drink & Draw!
All SLICE events are free and space is limited! RSVP to our Eventbrites to save your spot.
As always, follow SLICE on Instagram, Bluesky, and Facebook for all the news.
Sincerely,
Mr. Slice
