DRAWING THE LINES: Cartooning Workshops with Australia's Top Political Cartoonists

Join acclaimed cartoonists Megan Herbert (Australian Political Cartoonist of the Year 2024) and Matt Golding (Australian Political Cartoonist of the Year 2025) for a series of hands-on cartooning workshops at Burnie Regional Art Gallery, presented alongside the touring exhibition Behind the Lines: Are We Rolling? from the Museum of Australian Democracy at Old Parliament House.

Designed for aspiring artists of all ages, these engaging workshops will explore the art of visual storytelling, character design, satire, caricature and cartooning techniques. Participants will gain insight into the creative process behind political cartoons while developing their own unique drawing style under the guidance of two of Australia's leading practitioners.

Workshops are available for three age groups:

• Young people aged 13–18 years    Monday 13 July 10am
• Adults                                               Monday 13 July 6pm
• Children aged 10–12 years            Tuesday 14 July 10am + 1.30pm

Whether you're an experienced illustrator or simply love to draw, these workshops offer a rare opportunity to learn directly from award-winning cartoonists whose work appears in newspapers, magazines and publications across Australia.

Places are limited, so book early and discover how a simple drawing can spark laughter, conversation and even social change.
