Cartoons are great and so are cartoonists. Become part of this elite branch of the arts at one of Harry’s exclusive cartoon workshops. Learn how to transform a flat piece of paper into a riot of laughs, an explosion of adventure, a cacophony of sound and a gobsmack of disbelief. All shot through with the real emotion that comes from drawing eyebrows in just the right position. Discover the many uses of the humble asterisk and how to do a caricature.
