Gather in a supportive 'art studio' setting to dabble, experiment and mess about!

This is not an art 'class' but rather, a chance to take inspiration from the work of some of the best illustrators in the business.

Each week's session will feature contemporary picture book illustrators using different media including oil pastel, collage, paper cutting, and ink, from countries including Australia, the United States and the UK. 

All art supplies are provided.
