1. Building a Paper World


This is another post 'in absentia', set up in advance (today I am in a school in Audenshaw):

If you live in Northants, you might like to come along to a FAB event I'm part of, celebrating The Big Draw in Corby.
It's on October 26th & 27th at the Kingswood Children's Centre and it's going to be brilliant...


The Monday will be totally bonkers: we are papering an entire room, and you can help us completely cover it with drawing. Maybe we can create new worlds, with weird, alien creatures, or you could draw yourself waving from your house, in your street... There will be darker paper all around the bottom of the walls, where you can decide what mysteries might be buried under the ground: maybe treasure, or rotting bones, or secret passageways...


I will be there to help you with ideas from 10am onwards, along with local artists Jo Dacombe & Carole Miles.

Then at 4pm, I will be running a 2 hour illustration workshop for adults:


But that's not all! The following day there will be kids workshops and storytellings, as well as a fabulous exhibition for you to explore:


And then, as if all that wasn't enough... there will be free books given away! Yahoo!

Don't miss out: call the Kingswood Centre on 01536 746 265 for your free invitation, or to reserve your place on any of the events. See you there!
