Cartoon Mural Workshops for Schools & Communities

Collaborative mural projects that inspire creativity, teamwork and lasting impact

Transform blank walls into bold, creative statements with our cartoon mural workshops. Designed for schools, youth groups and community spaces, these hands-on sessions combine drawing, storytelling and teamwork to create large-scale artwork. Participants collaborate to design and paint a unique mural that reflects their ideas, identity and shared creativity.

These workshops are delivered by UK cartoonist Chris Altham, a professional illustrator with decades of experience creating work for global campaigns, exhibitions and educational projects.

We also offer in-person and online cartoon drawing workshops.

Why Book a Cartoon Mural Workshop?

Engaging people of all ages in creating a cartoon mural not only fosters creativity and collaboration but also builds a strong community connection to the artwork. By incorporating everyone’s contributions, you create a unique and vibrant mural that reflects the diverse stories and personalities of the participants, ultimately transforming the space into a shared and meaningful visual experience.

What is the process in creating a mural?

The process of creating a hand-drawn mural starts with an initial consultation to explore your ideas, themes and the overall feel you want for the space. I then produce concept sketches based on our discussion, allowing time for feedback and refinements. Once the design is approved, I prepare the wall, taking measurements and selecting colours. The mural is then carefully hand-drawn, building up layers of detail to bring the artwork to life. Depending on your needs, a protective finish can be applied, followed by a final walkthrough to make sure everything meets your expectations.

Can our visitors / customers watch you draw?

That’s absolutely fine with me. Watching others draw is well known to be theraputic and relaxing. So if you’re happy for me to work in your public space; cafe, hospital, play area, or exhibition, you may find people taking time out to watch the transformation of your mural unfold in real-time and often spread the word on social media, so it’s a win win.

Large-Scale Projects

For large-scale projects I collaborate with Centre Space ArtsOptical Designs116. Working with our close-knit team of highly experienced and talented individuals, is a fantastic way to bring innovative ideas and excelerated speed to large-scale projects. By pooling our collective creative skills and resources, ultimately leads to a more comprehensive, high-quality and cost effective outcome.
