Students aged 8 to 13 can learn how to draw fun manga and anime characters from a professional cartoonist on Saturday, June 25 in a program sponsored by the Tolland Public Library and the Tolland Public Library Foundation.
Cartoonist Debi Hamuka-Falkenham will present the cartooning workshop from 10:30 a.m. to noon in Conference Room A of Tolland Town Hall at 21 Tolland Green.
Hamuka-Falkenham, whose website is drawfunnystuff.com, is a 1974 graduate of Paier College of Art and The Museum of Cartoon Arts’ Cartooning Program. She is also a member of the National Cartoonists Society, and her artwork has been used by Crayola, Fisher Price, GE and General Motors.
Children taking part will be able to create their own manga cartoon poster to take home.
The program is free, but registration is required. To register, call the library at 860-871-3620, use the online events calendar at tolland.org/library or email young adult and children’s librarian Ginny Brousseau at [email protected].
