About this Event
Learn the fundamentals of cartooning from a professional perspective in a small setting!
This workshop will focus on using observational skills and critical thinking to understand how to extrapolate humor from life, then put pen to paper!
Over the course of two hours, each student will get one on one time with Mads and learn how to create a standard for their work.
The workshop is not about being the perfect artist, but about the art of rhetoric in cartooning. After this workshop, students will have direct access to the instructor to get personal feedback on their work.
This will be a small class so that everyone can get attention.
Since this is around dinner time, I will recommend you bring some food but I will provide veg and hummus
Madeline ‘Mads’ Horwath is a cartoonist and humorist who sold their first cartoon to The New Yorker in 2019, three months after they picked up the pen and has been trying to figure it out since. They use their dark sense of humor to make comics about social navigation and history. Since they’ve begun cartooning, they became a regular with The New Yorker, LA Times, and Chicago Reader before focusing their full attention to becoming a regular cartoonist for The Guardian in 2025. Having made a few cartoons go massively viral, they are able to balance out making personal work and freelance work for prestigious publications and institutions like The Comics Museum and The Wellcome Trust in England.
A special thank you to Hayley Dunlop, who is soon coming out with her novel, I'm Dreaming of a New York Christmas, is a love letter to cartooning and creative connections. The book publishes in August and can be pre-ordered via the link in her bio.
