About this Event

Workshop Facilitator - Colin Fraser

Learn the basics of cartooning through a fun guided draw-along, starting with Big Dog and a series of quick animal character sketches. Participants will explore how simple shapes, expressions and personality can bring characters to life before designing their own original cartoon character inspired by a playful rhyming story prompt. Perfect for young illustrators, storytellers and comic fans.

All materials are provided, and no previous experience is necessary.

All young people need to be accompanied by an adult.

This is a family-friendly workshop suitable for all ages, so bring along the whole family – parents, carers, grandparents and friends are all welcome.
