Looking for a drawing workshop for your school, event, or library? Call me! I’m available to run workshops for groups (large and smal) or one-on-one tuition.

My workshops are generally step-by-step with my main topics/styles being: manga/anime; Pokémon; superheroes / villains; monsters; comic creation and general cartooning. My workshops are suited for all skill levels and all ages. I also tailor the workshop(s) to suit your needs such as: age; skill level; subject matter – for example Creating Characters from under the sea.

I really enjoy working with people of all ages and find workshops both inspiring for me and the attendees. I love seeing the different styles of the attendees and I love the surprises that come from each workshop.
