Registration is requested.
An informative and fun program for aspiring writers and illustrators—or anyone interested in learning how writing and art come together to create a children’s book.
During this series of workshops, participants will brainstorm universal ideas and create a “dummy” (professional talk for a work-in-progress picture book). No experience required.
Patrons need to bring the following:
16-20 pieces of plain paper (8 1/2 x 11 size or bigger)
A package of Post-It notes (any color)
Pencils, crayons, markers, colored pencils, pastels, and/or art pens
Patrons may wish to bring a laptop or tablet to write down ideas and plot the story, but a majority of the work (which focuses on an economy of words) will be handwritten (writers) and/or sketched (illustrators).
3-week workshop beginning Monday, July 14th from 6:00pm to 7:30pm at the Stone Harbor Library.
Registration REQUIRED for this 3-week course.
