Meet & Draw with CTON online
Book a VIRTUAL workshop Today!
That’s right! I’m currently available to present all my usual in-person presentations and workshop programs online via your favourite platform! This allows me to present to students/children who are learning remotely, as well as classrooms of students who can view the presentation through their classroom or library technology. This also means I can present to anyone, anywhere with a decent internet connection! Yay!
Current Programs Available:
Create your own comics with CTON
Write and illustrate your own personal comic stories with professional illustrator and comic creator, Clayton Hanmer. Learn about the basic structure of comic creation and be encouraged to get silly (aka creative) while developing unique characters based on these concepts. Then jump right into writing and drawing a comic together using the characters. The workshop builds on children’s individual creativity and helps them gain confidence in their drawing and writing skills. Attendees will need access to a device with a decent-sized screen, as well as a mic/camera. A moderator may be required depending on the type/size of the group. This program is always different and changes depending on the input from the attendees.
Digital workshop participants will receive a printable PDF of their comic that we create together!
Length 45 minutes + 15 minutes for questions/requests

What’s up with fads and trends? (w/Kira Vermond)
Would you ever swallow a live goldfish? Pour a bucket of ice water over your head? Wear seriously ugly shoes? Who would do that? And — more importantly — why? Trends may seem trivial on the surface, but they have the power to make regular people do pretty irregular things! Jump into the frenzied world of viral videos and songs, faddish food and clothes, and even dangerous crazes! Coming together online, Trending: How and Why Stuff Gets Popular (Owlkids, 2020) author Kira Vermond and illustrator Clayton Hanmer tell (and draw!) stories about how fads take off and spread, how they can be crafted to lure you in — and how to recognize bandwagon behaviour the minute you see it. (The pandemic toilet paper craze, anyone?)
Length 45 minutes + 15 minutes for questions
