Book your place — £160 → Dates in this series: Friday 15 January, 9:00am Friday 29 January, 9:00am Friday 12 February, 9:00am Friday 26 February, 9:00am Friday 5 March, 9:00am Four Friday mornings across January and February to take your picture book from an idea to work you are proud to show — and the monthly meet-up on top, included. Character, story shape, the page turn, and the art that carries it. Fridays 09:00–13:00 — 15 and 29 January, 12 and 26 February — then the meet-up on 5 March, at the Cornish Craft Barn. £160 for all five mornings. Why a fortnight between. The work happens in the gap. A week is enough to start a page and not enough to finish one; two weeks is time to sit with it, and the people who got the most out of the last run were the ones who had that. 15 January — set the scene. Gear up, get your project files together, and build them with the rest of the group. 29 January, 12 and 26 February — develop your work in earnest, a fortnight to draw between each. 5 March — the monthly meet-up, included as a bonus. You bring what you have made, meet people who have done the Children’s Book Workshop before, and show your new Children’s Book friends. Eight seats, beginners and improvers together. A short materials list before you start, and a starter kit at cost if you would rather not buy your own yet. A one-page recap each session with the demonstration photos, and the group’s own album. The ladder: an Essentials half-day is the taster; a Series is where you get properly better at one thing; Studio mornings are the room to keep working in. Book your place →
