Join illustrator and author Shona Shirley Macdonald in this interactive art workshop based on creating characters for illustration.
With Shona’s wide range of skills in art and illustration and her engaging style, this is a wonderful opportunity for young artists to delve into their own imaginations and discover the depths of their creativity. Following a drawing demonstration and a glimpse into the process of creating a book illustration, each child will get the chance to design their own character to fit into a 3D village scene.
