Illustrator Sarah Whelan will give the participants an introduction on creating their very own picture book, where they will be both writing their own story and illustrating it. The workshop will start with an introduction to character development and story writing. Participants will be encouraged to use the surrounding exhibition of illustrations as inspiration for their character and then will develop their story based on this character. There will be a particular focus on achieving the balance between the words and pictures when working on the illustrations for the picture book . Once the workshop is complete the final books will be displayed during the exhibition launch before the participants get to take it home to read it to their friends and family time and time again. This is the perfect workshop for every picture book maker in the making!
