July School Holiday Workshops

I've got a few workshops coming up in the July School Holidays so thought I'd let you know about them here as well as on my facebook page.

Create exciting textures from paint and paper with Fifi Colston, writer, illustrator and TV presenter. Fifi shows you how she did the illustrations for 'Far Far From Home' and will guide you through making an artwork of your own.

Wearable Wonders

Wed 24 Jul 2013 @ 1:30pm– 4pm Wed 24 Jul 2013

Paint, glue & tape time - make a wearable art piece. Fifi Colston writer, illustrator and Wearable Art Designer will help you create your very own WOW garment. Be it a helmet, skirt or crazy arm decorations, you can use a favourite book character as your inspiration.

Plus I'll be running workshops for The New Zealand Post Children's Book Award Festival this Monday and Tuesday for selected, participating schools- we'll be making fun art to celebrate Ned Barraud and Gillian Chandler's wonderful shortlisted book 'At The Beach'. 

Then I'm off to St Peter and Paul's School to give a talk on Wearable Art and hopefully inspire the students to come up with wonderful ideas.

And on Sunday 23rd- look out for a fun craft I'll be making from my new book on What Now.

Gosh, busy...love it that way!
