The Craft of New Yorker Cartoons Workshop with New Yorker Cartoonist Tom Toro

Learn cartooning fundamentals directly from Tom Toro, a celebrated cartoonist whose work regularly appears in The New Yorker. During this hands-on workshop at the Thurber Center, you'll start from the very beginning—generating your own cartoon ideas, mastering composition techniques, and crafting captions that land. By the end of the session, you'll have created a collection of cartoons to take home. The best part? No experience necessary. Whether you've never picked up a pencil or you're already a fan of the form, this workshop welcomes all skill levels. This session is designed for teens ages 15 and up, as well as adults who want to explore their creative side. It's a great opportunity for anyone curious about visual storytelling and humor writing, offered in a supportive, instructional setting.
