Illustrate & Write A Children’s Book (4 Half Day Sessions!)

In this workshop series, we will apply the principles of numerous well-known children’s authors and illustrators, review good practices from our carefully curated CCB library of children’s books, and unlock our creative illustrative skills through explorations with unexpected materials during each session. We will draw from our imaginations, capture the essence of a story, and produce our visuals around a well-crafted narrative, whether with rhyme, alliteration, playful repetition, or even wordless. Let the illustrations tell the story!

March 6th, 13th, 20th & 27th – 10am till 1pm includes 10% café and shop discount on the workshop days.
