Cartooning workshops

Bring the joy of cartooning to your classroom (or boardroom)!

I’m a lifelong cartoonist who has been publishing comics and graphic novels for over 15 years. However, the real magic happens when I’m in a room full of people discovering how fun and easy drawing can be.

My cartooning workshops spark creativity, build confidence, and show every participant, from kids to professionals, that anyone can draw.

For the past decade, I’ve been guiding young artists to create their own characters and stories. And now I’m bringing that same excitement to schools and corporate teams looking to recharge their creativity in a fun, hands-on way.

Workshop Details

  • Duration: Flexible – typically 1-2 hours depending on your needs
  • Age range: Perfect for kids up to age 10 (adaptable for different grade levels). Teens and adults will enjoy them, too!
  • Group size: Works great with full classrooms or smaller groups
  • Materials: Just paper and pencils. I keep it simple!

Every workshop is tailored to, for schools, your students’ grade levels, and interests. I love working with teachers to make sure the experience fits perfectly into your classroom curriculum and grade level. The same for the interests and themes of corporate teams and conferences. Cartooning is versatile and fun for all ages!

Cartoonist bio

Daniele Rossi is a cartoonist and author best known for creating Franky Banky, a fox who stutters and embarks on humorous misadventures with his tiger sidekick, Ti-Ger. A lifelong doodler, Daniele has spent over 15 years publishing comics and graphic novels and leading workshops to promote self-acceptance and resilience among people who stutter of all ages.

His work blends humour, accessibility, and advocacy to challenge misconceptions and celebrate diverse voices. He now offers those same fun, confidence-building workshops to everyone, whether they stutter or not.
