I design & run my comics and illustration workshops to tie in with curriculum topics of your choice. The sessions have the power to engage pupils with writing, character creation and drawing in addition to their current topic.

In a typical session I show the group my portfolio and demonstrate how I create characters. I introduce them to some inspiring illustrated fiction then teach them to draw a character step- by-step. I take the group through the fundamentals of character creation, then support them in creating original characters and either comic strips or picture book plans.

In 2019, I ran a comics workshop at the Haugaland High School in Norway as part of ‘My Life In Strips’ schools contest where participants had the opportunity to enter a European wide competition.

For this event I specially designed workshops where students learnt both the elements of story creation as well as turning stories into a full comic book strip. Participants experienced the full comic-making process first hand and had the opportunity to see their work displayed at a local festival participating in the project.
