This is a workshop for kids and teens that love drawing in all its forms. Get tips from cartoonists and illustrators Eleri Harris (A Loo of One’s Own) and David Conley (That Book About Life Before Dinosaurs) on how they approach their pencils, pens and the page. How do they free themselves up to experiment and dare to get it wrong, before they get something down they like?
For ages 10+
