Last Thursday Onyx Class visited the Ministry of Stories. What looked a normal shop from the outside had hidden secrets of wonder and rooms of fantastic fiction. We were lucky enough to take part in a comic book workshop and had the opportunity to work with real comic illustrators. Not only this, but we were able to produce our very own comic books and story boards. Here are some of the pictures from this exciting trip:
