Join Nisaluk Chantanakom, illustrator of the CBCA-shortlisted A Teaspoon of Light and the recently released A Lemon for Safiya, for a special Book Week workshop.

Dive into the wonderful world of picture books as Nisaluk Chantanakom shares insights into storytelling, world-building, and character creation, drawing inspiration directly from her own works, A Teaspoon of Light and A Lemon for Safiya. You’ll get to listen to the creative journey behind these books, which will be followed by an exciting, hands-on drawing demonstration. Get ready to bring your own characters to life as you learn practical tips and techniques!

This interactive workshop is suitable for children aged 8-12 years. Please bring your best pencil, an eraser and three of your favourite colours in any medium.
