Children's Author Event: Cartooning with Laura Howell at Kirkby-in-Ashfield Library

In this 60-minute workshop, Laura will guide you through the basics of cartooning, as well as sharing a behind-the-scenes look at how a Beano page is created, from script to the finished comic in your hand.

Laura Howell likes making comics that make people laugh. In 2006 she became the first woman to draw for the Beano and is currently the artist in charge of everyone’s favourite pigtailed powerhouse Minnie the Minx.

£3 for Children / Accompanying Adults FREE

For children aged 7 – 11. 

When booking your tickets, please include all adults and children attending.

This event will also be at Mansfield Library at 10:30am
