There will be 18 workshops over the two days of SPX 2026, to be held September 12 & 13 at the Bethesda North Marriott Hotel & Conference Center.
These workshops are free and open to any participants. They’re aimed at a wide variety of ages and skill sets, from kids just starting out to experienced cartoonists looking to sharpen their skills with a master class. In response to last year’s enthusiastic response, the convention will continue to have two figure drawing workshops featuring model Babs New(d). (18+ only.)
Graduates and representatives of the Center For Cartoon Studies (CCS), the Sequential Artists Workshop (SAW), and the School of Visual Arts (SVA) will be on hand to lead many of these workshops.
Here are a few of this year’s workshops:
- Create An Imaginary Comic with Matt Madden
- Drawing Comics on Target with SVA’s Josh Bayer
- Physical Self-Care for Artists and Writers with Kriota Willberg
- Gag! Cartoons! with Hilary Campbell & Sofia Warren
- Limited Palettes and the Color Wheel with Carly Shooster
- Making Science Comics: Bug Edition with Coco Fox and August Driussi
Sign up for any of the 18 workshops at this year’s show here on the SPX web site.
