From 2014 to 2016 I was an instructor at Mosaic Explore, a home schooling enrichment program in Manchester, N.H. I taught several introductory and advanced classes in cartooning. The classes were a delight, with enthusiastic students from age 7 to 13.
While I’ve since moved to Kansas, you can still learn about the program’s class offerings here. For regular updates, you can also follow the program on Facebook. I hope to return to the classroom and teach further cartooning lessons soon.
One parent writes: David and Joy will be continuing for Term 2, and Joy is adding a class, as she has enjoyed the first one so much. David is thrilled to be able to continue with the Cartooning class! L.M. (Nashua, NH)
Another writes: My boys are enjoying their classes at Mosaic as well. Cartooning is a big hit and carries over at home! K.W. (Manchester, NH)
