The Wonderful World of Jed and his cartoons!

Cartoon Storybook Workshop

Thelma Hulbert Gallery - Saturday 2nd February 2019

The art room at the Thelma Hulbert gallery was packed to the gunnels with excited youngsters all eagerly awaiting the first of two workshops by SWAC’s brilliantly talented cartoonist, film maker and graphic novelist Jed Falby.

Each child was awarded a generous working space and provided with a pen and specially bound blank - paged booklet.

The ‘maestro’ stood in front of a wall covered with white paper which quickly and magically became covered with his own cartoons as he explained the basics of cartoon storytelling. This was all accompanied with a constant flow of ideas and suggestions to stimulate the creative imagination of his young and attentive audience and to help them make a start.

My grandson Jacob along with the other youngsters all ended up with wonderfully personal graphic stories to take home with them.

Jed conducted a second workshop with slightly younger children later in the afternoon.

Jed is a charismatic and natural teacher and we very much look forward to more workshops of this kind.

We all loved the workshop and are most grateful to you for giving us your time and talent.

Thank you Jed.
