Dive into the exciting world of graphic novels with Aki Fukuoka, the talented illustrator behind Billie B Brown. This hands-on workshop invites children to explore storytelling through drawing, learning how to transform stories into engaging comic panels. It's a fantastic opportunity for young creatives to develop their artistic skills and imagination.
Children will be guided through fun and practical activities that encourage them to start creating their own graphic stories. Aki will share insights on adapting chapter books into graphic novel form, making the session both educational and inspiring.
Books by Aki Fukuoka will be available for purchase after the workshop, allowing families to take home a piece of the creative magic.
This workshop is designed specifically for children aged 5 to 12 years old. It runs for one hour, providing a focused yet enjoyable experience for young artists. Bookings are essential, and each child attending must have their own ticket.
